(TCLS= Thursday Chemistry Lunch Seminar: 12.15-13 @ Tripletten
For ALL employees at the Chemistry Department!
My name is Viviana Sarmiento and I am from Colombia. I am a chemical engineer, and my favorite fields are analytical chemistry, statistics and chemometrics. I am new in this academic sector, I worked before in industry and public sector in my country, but after an Erasmus Master in Quality in Analytical Laboratories, I decided to move here with my family. After working some months in a project with Prof. Monica Jordheim’s supervision, we got the opportunity of undertaking an Industrial PhD with NFR. I am learning and enjoying a lot and I am very excited about our project that is about natural antioxidants from seaweeds. I love to play with my son, to travel and to dance!
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
My name is Ruplekha Bordoloi, and I have recently joined for a PhD program under the supervision of Prof. Pascal D.C. Dietzel, Department of Chemistry, UiB. I am originally from Assam, India.
I did my Bachelor’s in Chemistry and Education from Tezpur University, Assam; and my Master’s at IIT Mandi, India. During my master’s journey, I worked in the areas of Crystalline porous materials ( Covalent Organic Frameworks), Flow chemistry ( Droplet & Continuous photocatalysis, Fabrication of microreactors etc.
I am captivated and engrossed by Prof. Pascal’s insights and how he has successfully managed to prioritize both theoretical and practical knowledge equally as if they were two sides of the same coin. These inspires and motivates me a lot. I believe that I will immensely benefit from his rich experience and guidance to strengthen my understanding and knowledge in the field of Porous materials, MOFs and its characterizations as well as applications. And I am excited to experience and learn so to broaden my horizons in the field of MOFs for CCUS and clean hydrogen production from department of Chemistry, UiB.
Stor takk til Lisbeth Glærum og Reidun Myklebust for innsats gjennom 25 år på Kjemisk institutt! Jubileet ble markert under TCLS torsdag 30. januar.
My name is Devishree, and I’ve recently started my PhD here in Bergen. I’m from India and I completed my academic journey in Pondicherry University where I did my Integrated Masters course in Chemistry. Inspired by my growing passion for catalysis, I embarked on my PhD, where I’m now focusing to develop homogeneous catalytic systems anchored to polyoxometalates.I’m especially excited about the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary research and collaborate with the talented team here at UiB. I look forward to connecting with all of you and contributing to the vibrant chemistry community here in Bergen!
I am Lisa and I started as a postdoc within the LEAD AI program in December and will be working in the Haug group. I am from Germany, where I started my academic journey at the University of Tübingen. After studying pharmacy there, I stayed there and did my PhD in medicinal chemistry on the synthesis of covalent kinase inhibitors. I am now looking forward to working on a new research topic, facing new challenges and meeting new people here in Bergen.
Congratulations to Are Sæle Bruvold for succesfully defending his thesis on Friday November 15! The picture shows Are, the two opponents and the leader of the defence, Magne.

Salut everyone!
My name is Nathan, and I’ve just started my postdoc here in Bergen. I’m originally from France, and I did all of my studies in the beautiful city of Strasbourg—which, by the way, is only 2,000 km from here, if you’re ever in the mood for a visit!
My journey began with a bachelor’s in Chemistry, followed by a master’s in Chemistry, Biology, and Drug Development. Caught up in the momentum of research, I enthusiastically jumped into doing a PhD, which I finished last year. My PhD focused on Medicinal Chemistry (or to be exact, Biological and Therapeutic Chemistry—if we’re getting technical!), where I worked on developing new synthetic strategies to access biologically redox-active compounds aimed at treating tropical diseases like malaria and Chagas disease.
I’m really passionate about the multidisciplinary nature of medicinal chemistry, and I’m thrilled to have joined Professor Magne Sydnes’ team to dive deeper into the world of photodegradable antimicrobial agents!
I’m excited to meet all of you and I hope we’ll get the chance to know each other better!
Currently serving as an MSCA Postdoctoral Scholar in the Shaping European Research Leaders for Marine Sustainability program at the Department of Chemistry, University of Bergen, I have been actively involved in the field of natural product chemistry and biochemistry. I successfully completed my doctoral studies in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the College of Pharmacy, Chungnam National University, Korea, earning a PhD in 2020. Throughout my career, I have focused on the study of metabolomics from medicinal plants, fungal strains, and marine organisms, publishing over 60 SCIE-indexed papers in this area. My expertise includes proficiency in NMR, HPLC, and MS techniques, enabling me to effectively analyze and characterize complex natural compounds.
Hello everyone! My name is Nilgun, and I come to the Department of Chemistry from the Geophysical Institute on loan 40% while Torill is on leave. You can find me in her office (3A9c) on Mondays and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, or you can reach me on TEAMS (55583734) or by email (nilgun.kulan@uib.no) anytime.
I started working at UiB – GFI five years ago as a research advisor and project manager of an EU – H2020 project called TRIATLAS. I have a PhD in Physical Oceanography and have been involved in research both as a researcher and an administrator. In my personal life, I have been fortunate enough to live in diverse environments in Turkey, Canada, Japan, and now, in Norway.
Looking forward to meeting you all!
