Welcome, Timm!
Hey, my name is Timm Krüger, and I am thrilled to join the Haug Group as a PhD Research Fellow within the MSCA doctoral network of «TargetRNA.» Originally from Hamburg, Germany, I completed my studies in chemistry at the University of Hamburg, specializing in medicinal chemistry with a particular focus on the synthesis of LpxC/LpxA inhibitors. I am looking forward to both meeting new people and expanding my knowledge, all while enjoying the beauty of this city.»
Hello everyone, my name is Daniel, and I have started as a PhD student in the Haug research group in March as part of the MSCA TargetRNA Network. I am from Germany and studied Chemistry in Leipzig, with a semester abroad in Helsinki. My main research interests include Organic Synthesis, Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology. In my free time, I enjoy winter sports, spending time in nature, and watching sports.
I am Nguyễn Gia Huy, an incoming PhD student at the University of Bergen. I was born and grew up in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, where I completed my undergraduate study at the Vietnam National University, Hanoi. Later on, I did my higher study by taking the Erasmus Joint Master Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry, in which I graduated from the University of Helsinki. My past work focuses on the field of Coordination and Organometallics Chemistry, and I did my master thesis in CO2 conversion and Polymer Chemistry. It was during a small conference in Helsinki that I got to know professor Erwan le Roux, my current supervisor, and the call for this PhD position. The project that I will be working on is homogeneous catalysts for production of ammonia. Therefore, I am excited to start my study here in Bergen to put together what I am experienced in, as well as learning new aspects of the field.
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!
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.
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.
