Thanks to a rare showing of the Belgian sun, the whole CiTOS team was happy to celebrate a gradual return to social events: the annual barbecue on the Sart Tilman campus was a great opportunity to welcome new members to the group 😉

Michele Desiante, from the University of Bari Aldo Moro, joins the group as an Erasmus student.

Welcome, Michele!

William Burtonboy and Maximilian Zoschg  join the group as Master students.

Welcome, William and Maximilian!

Noémie has successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled “Integrated Continuous Flow Photoreactor: Photooxidation of sulfides with Singlet Oxygen” on Wednesday, March 24. She is now working with IBA.

The work on the continuous flow electrophilic amination of enolizable ketone substrates with nitroso derivatives is now published in the journal Green Chemistry (A modular, low footprint and scalable flow platform for the expedient ?-aminohydroxylation of enolizable ketones – Green Chemistry (RSC Publishing) )

Michael produced another beautiful cover artwork that is featured as a front cover of the April issue.

Maurane Moors and Yasemin Sicim join the group as Master students.

Geoffroy Kaisin also joins the group as an industrial partner from O&OC.

Welcome to everyone !

Diana Silva Brenes joins the group as a Postdoctoral Researcher within the framework of a NASA EPSCoR grant, as part of a partnership with Pr. Torsten Stelzer at the Crystallization Design Institute of the University of Puerto Rico. Her project will aim to develop a Personalized Medication System for Deep Space Missions.

Welcome, Diana!

Romaric has successfully defended his PhD thesis entitled “Continuous flow strategies for the upgrading of biobased molecules” on Friday, September 18. He is now heading to Jensen’s group at MIT (Jensen Research Group – MIT Department of Chemical Engineering) with a BAEF fellowship (BAEF – Belgian American Educational Foundation)

Pauline Bianchi was granted a 4 years FNRS Research Fellowship for her proposal aiming at the development of innovative amination procedures (“General fluidic platform for the generation and use of designer’s reactive nitroso species towards pharmaceutical ingredients”).

Her proposal relies on an interdisciplinary approach combining synthetic, physical organic chemistry and chemical engineering.

Her work fits within the context of sustainability and contributes to providing concrete answers for current societal challenges related to the preparation of pharmaceutical active ingredients and other biologically relevant molecules.

Yuesu Chen joins the group as a Postdoctoral Researcher within the frame of a FNRS-FSR Incentive Grant for Scientific Research (MIS, F.S.R-FNRS).

Welcome, Yuesu!
