Since then, Fabian has been a postdoctoral fellow at the University of British Colombia (Canada) and the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland), where he studied organic aerosol formation and their physicochemical properties in the laboratory.

In his new position, Fabian will be part of the Center for Chemistry of Clouds, where he will strive to establish a mechanistic understanding of aerosols particles and their interactions with clouds that is critical for climate predictions. As part of this effort his research group will map atmospheric conditions needed to form cloud droplets and ice crystals on aerosol particles.

Welcome to the department, Fabian!

This is because hydrogen forms penta-molecular units that have not previously been observed. Hydrogen also forms a new type of bond with the lattice structure, called a hexahydrogen bond. This discovery opens new perspectives for efficient and safe energy storage.Department of ChemistryStaffPublic / mediaLise Refstrup Linnebjerg Pedersen17083402201708340220news-76174Fri, 09 Feb 2024 09:04:54 +0100The CETEC Project Wins JEC Award for Circular Wind Turbine Solutionhttps://inano.au.dk/about/news-events/news/show/artikel/the-cetec-project-wins-jec-award-for-circular-wind-turbine-solutionTroels Skrydstrup and the rest of the CETEC team have received the JEC Award for their groundbreaking and innovative recycling technology for wind turbine blades.Department of ChemistryStaffPublic / media17074658941707465894news-75460Thu, 14 Dec 2023 10:22:00 +0100New chemical method advances toward targeted RNA medicinehttps://inano.medarbejdere.au.dk/news-and-events/news/show/artikel/new-chemical-method-advances-toward-targeted-rna-medicineIn close collaboration with Novo Nordisk, a novel method has been developed to enhance the synthesis of therapeutic oligonucleotides for targeted drugs.
