1. Romana Szakal joins the group as a PhD student on November 1, 2024. Funded by FORMAS project ” Direct mineralization of Atmospheric CO2 by Enhanced Weathering”
2. Interviews are under way for 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. An ad is out now for a postdoc funded by a WISE-UmU grant from the Kempe Foundation:

Tao Luo just joined our group as a postdoctoral researcher! We thank the Carl-Tryggers foundation for support.
A new postdoc will also join the Boily group in 2024 to contribute to our growing research activities on ice research. We thank a recent November 2023 grant by the Kempe Foundation for support.
Sébastien Le Crom (Kempe Postdoc in Boily group) is beginning a “Maître de Conférence” position at Institut Mines-Télécom Nantes (France) in September 2023.
