This symposium provides the opportunity to learn about the application of X-ray scattering to study shape, porosity, alignment, crystal polymorphisms, and general structure of different materials (organic polymers, plastic films, lipid particles...).
PhD students and postdoctoral researchers with hands-on experience will be talking about their most recent findings. X-ray scattering is a technique available at the Faculty of Bioscience engineering and is available for every researcher at UGent.
Program:
9-12:00 h Presentations
- Ivana Penagos, PhD student at FSF. Promotor- Prof. Koen Dewettinck and Prof. Filip van Bockstaele
- How can x-ray scattering help us understand fat-rich food products?
- Fien de Witte, PhD student at FSF. Promotor- Prof. Koen Dewettinck
- X-ray scattering to study suspensions.
- Mark Gontsarik, Posdoctoral researcher at in the Biopharmaceutical Technology Unit group.
- pH-Switchable Lipid Nanocarriers for Targeted Delivery of Antimicrobial Peptides
- Marek Beliš, PhD student at XStruct Bio-Inorganic chemistry. Promotor-
- Nucleation and particle growth of organic polymers and metal-organic frameworks
- Amir Bashirgonbadi, PhD student at Laboratory of chemical Technology (LCT). Promotor- Prof. Kevin van Geem
- Crystalline morphology in plastic films.
12:00- 13:00 Lunch and networking time.
A visit to the X-ray facility is possible upon request to the organizers (daylan.tzompa@ugent.be).
