New Group Members

Boliden and the “Industrial Doctor School for Research and Innovation” at UmU co-fund a PhD position on Nanoscale resolution of Acid Mine Drainage

1. Romana Szakal joins the group as a PhD student on November 2024. Funded by FORMAS project ” Direct mineralization of Atmospheric CO₂ by Enhanced Weathering”

2. We are hiring a PhD student in molecular modeling co-funded by FORMAS and SEED-HORIZON. This is a joint venture between Umeå University and IMT Atlantique with Andrey Kalinichev and Sébastien Le Crom.

3. Maria Arizaleta joins the group as a WISE-Kempe postdoc in early 2025
