Members and collaborations
A number of BSc, MSc, and PhD students have conducted chemical research in our facilities. Their names are listed below, grouped and presented chronologically, together with their (broad) research topics.
In addition, our work is highly collaborative, and we have established strong partnerships with research groups both nationally and internationally. The final section of the page provides a list of these collaborations.
