The Spring E-MRS was held in Strasbourg from May 29 until June 3 2023. Journal of Materials Chemistry B and Materials Advances were delighted to sponsor an oral presentation prize for Symposium J: Design and scaling up of theranostic nanoplatforms for health: towards translational studies and we would like to congratulate Tina Škorjanc for being the recipient of this prize!

After graduating from the International Baccalaureate programme in her native Slovenia in 2011, Tina Škorjanc moved to the United Arab Emirates to study biochemistry at the newly established New York University Abu Dhabi. In 2015, she started a PhD program in chemistry at New York University in New York, but her research endeavours took her back to the Abu Dhabi campus. Her research focus was on the preparation of covalent organic polymers and frameworks for applications in water purification and drug delivery. Tina graduated with a PhD in 2020, and her thesis was awarded the Pregel Award for an Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation by the National Institute of Chemistry in Slovenia. In 2021, she was awarded a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Widening Fellowship to work on developing new sensor materials at the University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia. In 2022, she represented Slovenia at the 71st Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau Germany. In the same year, she was also a finalist for the Prometheus of Science Award, a prize for science communication in Slovenia. Although she is a researcher and a chemist on paper, she is most passionate about travel. |
Congratulations Tina!
