Nanoscale Horizons, Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances were pleased to support the recent ChemOnTubes conference held in Strasbourg, France from 7 – 11 April 2024, by awarding prizes for the most outstanding poster presentations.
Congratulations to our winners Justus Metternich, Zechariah Mengrani and Sara Behjati for being awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes respectively.
1st Prize Justus Metternich studied a Bachelor of Science in biotechnology at the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt, Germany from 2014 – 2017. After that, in 2018 he had a short stay Erasmus and graduation programme at the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas (CIB-CSIC) in Madrid, Spain. From 2018 – 2020, Justus studied a Master of Science at Uppsala University in Sweden and from 2020 – 2024 he pursued a PhD at the Fraunhofer IMS and the Ruhr-University Bochum (Group of Prof. Sebastian Kruss).

2nd prize Zechariah Mengrani is from the Queen Mary University of London and is currently in the second year of pursuing a PhD focusing on the formation of carbon nanotube junctions utilising DNA as a molecular linker. Zechariah’s research is aimed at developing devices that can improve current computing capabilities, alongside the development of biosensors. Title of poster: Biomolecular Carbon Nanotube Junctions |
| 3rd prize
Sara Behjati is a last-year doctoral assistant in the laboratory of Nanobiotechnology at EPFL, Switzerland under the supervision of Prof. Ardemis Boghossian. Sara is currently working on designing and engineering optical biosensors for biomedical applications. Title of poster: Engineering pH resilience in optical nanotube sensors for biomedical applications
