Congrats to Gun'ko group member @AineCooganNano on her graduation from her PhD today! Well done Dr Coogan! 🎓🎉 @TCD_Chemistry @Researchirel

Áine Coogan studies sustainable synthetic approaches for 2D nanomaterials, particularly layered double hydroxides, and their diverse applications. Learn more about @AineCooganNano and the 2024 #CASFutureLeaders before they arrive in Columbus this August. ow.ly/GE5r50SGoWb

Congrats to group members @AoifeK_101 and @osullc45 who were both awarded prizes for their presentations on their research at @CDT_ACM summer retreat in Girona last week. 🧪🔬Caroline was awarded best 1st year flash talk and Aoife was awarded best 4th year presentation! 🎉

And that's a wrap from the Gun'ko group at @EuChemS_Congres #ECC9 with @Lu_Fitzsimmons_ , Lorenzo and @AineCooganNano posters on Tuesday and Wednesday! From chirality, to luminescence to green/environmental chem, many of the research directions of the group were on display 😊

It’s @AoifeK_101 from @tcddublin who has the audience engrossed in her presentation, really amazing content. Didn’t think this session could get any better- but @AoifeK_101 has proven us wrong! @imperialcollege @ImpMaterials @ucl @EPSRC @scienceirel

Congrats to group member @AineCooganNano for her excellent talk on some of her PhD research at the @EuChemS European Young Chemists PhD Award Finalists' Presentations this afternoon at #ECC9! 👏 Áine was selected as one of only six finalists 👏🧪 @EuChemS_Congres

Presentation 1 of 3 this week done and dusted! Thanks to all who came along to hear about our water purification research🚰 @EuChemS_Congres

Congratulations to postdocs @AineCooganNano and Lorenzo Branzi for their excellent talks yesterday afternoon and this morning at #ECC9! Be sure to catch them both at their poster presentations this evening! 🧪🎉 @EuChemS @EuChemS_Congres

It's a busy week for the Gun'ko group at @EuChemS_Congres #ECC9 in Dublin! Plenty of presentations from group members Lucy, Lorenzo and Áine, so be sure to come say hi 😊

Best of luck to our 1st year PhD student Caroline who, along with her project partner Matas, will be presenting their outreach project on using the power of chemistry for identifying art forgery at today's 5th annual Chemistry EPE Symposium at @TCD_Chemistry 😊

Big congratulations to group member @AineCooganNano for being selected as an EYCA finalist! 🎉 Be sure to catch her presentation on 10th July at ECC9 in Dublin!
