Summer 2022: Learning aerosol modeling while on sabbatical in Andi Zuend’s group at McGill University!
Back in Umeå in October!!
Tan Luong just published his first big paper for his Ph.D thesis! The project started during his Master’s, then snowballed into his Ph.D. Here’s the story (PAPER HERE) of what happens when you expose rhodochrosite (MnCO3) to moist air
The Kempe Foundation awarded the Yesilbas Group for 4Mkr to buy a new IR spectrometer and for a postdoctoral project.
The postdoc position will be announced soon!🚀
