Vedantika Dey’s Post

Today I gave my presentation on Maximizing R^2 values using Origin to my research colleague, Lakshmi Narayanan Ramasubramanian and my research advisor, Singh Narain at the OSU-Tulsa Helmerich Research Center. I learned so much in this internship especially about how diamond can be utilized in electronics. During my research, I analyzed Raman Spectroscopy data using the Origin Software and purified diamond powder for use in seeding in the diamond deposition process. Overall I loved the experience of looking at the synthesis of material used in electronics.

I had the opportunity to complete a two-week internship at PCSIR (Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) in the field of Material Science at the Applied Physics, Computer, and Instrumentation Center. During this internship, I gained practical experience in advanced research techniques, explored the properties of various materials, and learned about their applications in real-world scenarios. This experience enhanced my understanding of material science and its role in driving innovation across industries. It was an enriching journey that deepened my passion for research and technology.

We are looking for possible candidates for a Master 2 Internship project in collaboration between the Physics Institute of Rennes (IPR) and the Lab of Science and Technology of Milk and Eggs (STLO) in Rennes (France). This internship is part of a broader research project started in 2022 with Romain Jeantet, Maude Jimenez and Jeehyun Lee. Our primary goal is to uncover the mechanisms of fouling deposit formation in the dairy industry. Based on recent works performed at the UMR STLO on fouling mechanisms in falling film evaporators using a rheological approach, this internship project (6 months) will focus on observing the flow of preheated (50-80°C) dairy protein solutions in microfluidic channels. The objective will be to characterize the presence of aggregates in flow and to determine the evolution of their size and number as a function of temperature and protein concentration. The acquired data will provide a better understanding of protein aggregation dynamics under shear.   Students with a physics, process engineering and chemical engineering background will be mainly evaluated. 

M1 or M2 internship in our group available for a motivated Master student starting 2025! "Synthesis and NMR studies of lead-free perovskite nanocrystals capped with bio-inspired ligands" During this internship, we propose to develop the synthesis of Pb-free Bi-based #perovskite #nanocrystals with tailor-made bio-inspired ligands designed to passivate cationic and anionic surface defects. This approach aims to improving both the optical properties and the stability of the nanocrystals. The PNCs will be studied using a variety of methods, including optical spectroscopies, microscopy, and X-ray diffraction, alongside advanced state-of-the-art characterization by DNP-NMR. The study will build on the breakthrough results recently achieved on similar systems through the ongoing collaboration between the SyMMES and MEM labs of the CEA-Irig, Grenoble and will be supported by a PhD student. Proposed by myself and Gaël De Paëpe. If interested - contact me for further information. #Master #internship

I am excited to share that I started my bachelor internship at the Physical Organic Chemistry department at the Institute for Molecules and Materials - Radboud University. I am doing research in the group of Evan Spruijt under supervision of Brent Visser. In the next 8 weeks I will be researching the characteristics of α-synuclein  within different coacervates using a combination of techniques. Labeled cysteine mutants of α-synuclein  will be used to investigate conformational changes and interactions with the coacervate environment. Raman microscopy will be used to determine the structure of the α-synuclein. α-synuclein is a protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease. Therefore, this research is important for further investigation on this protein. I am very excited to learn new skills and hopefully have a positive contribution. It is also the final step before finishing my bachelor! ⚗ 💊 #internship #research #bachelor

Mastering Serial Dilution in the Lab -In the lab, serial dilution is a key technique I use to create solutions with progressively lower concentrations. -By taking a known volume of a high concentration stock solution and diluting it with a solvent, I can achieve precise concentration gradients. -Each step involves using the newly diluted solution as the stock for the next dilution. -This method is crucial for various experiments like preparing calibration curves in analytical chemistry. #Chemistry #LabWork #SerialDilution #Science #Research #AnalyticalChemistry #kfmrc #internship

8 weeks have flown by. Thanks to Siyun Cao for joining us at the Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of Sheffield for the #fuse2024 The Faraday Institution internship scheme. Solomon Brown and I had the pleasure of introducing Siyun Cao to the field of battery safety and thermal runaway modelling. A new topic as well as modelling methods was a lot to learn in a short time but it didn't phase her. Wishing her all the best for the future. #safebatt #thermalrunaway #liionbattery #batterysafety #simulation
