UCD Electrochemistry (Johnson Group)

📢 We are looking for a Post-doctoral fellow to work on cutting-edge AMR research and whole genome sequencing targeting Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae S. suis at @UCDSBES @ucddublin 🗓 Apply by 12 Nov 2024 💼 Fixed term until Dec 2025 #AMR #Microbiology #Bioinformatics

Huge congrats to our research fellow, Andriy Revenko, for his recent corresponding author publication in ECS. Andriy, from Ukraine, joined our group under the @Researchirel displaced researcher's scheme and contributes to a number of our active projects! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.114…

Congratulations Dr. Shekemi Denuga! Shekemi has worked so hard in the past 4 years developing our ICR sensing technology and applying it to the detection of pathogens!

@S_Amir_Hosseini Congrats Amir! Very nice work!

Our first publication (🍾🎉) is a review of the most effective strategies to modify working electrode for organic electrosynthesis. Huge thanks to my fantastic grad students and two stellar undergrads who made this work possible. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Delighted to see @EmerFarell, Gareth Redmond @ucdchemistry and I's spectroelectrochemical ion current rectification paper out in print! We demonstrate how non aqueous ICR can be used to monitor a photochemical conversion reaction inside a nanopipette: doi.org/10.1016/j.elec…

Huge congratulations to Dr. Pallavi Dutta on passing her PhD viva today!

Today it's Pallavi Dutta's turn to don the thesis submission hat! Pallavi has made an awesome contribution to our understanding of nanopipette ion transport, and how to utilise ion rectifying pipettes for sensing DNA and pesticides at super-low analyte concentrations.

@oljasimoska We missed you and @S_Amir_Hosseini in Montreal! No former Utah electrochemists photo this time!

Legend!

@msu_electrochem Very cool work enjoyed reading this!

@lab_luo Hope you are settling in well? Where are you labs based? Looks like the new building?

Our chemicals finally arrived!! Time for experiments!

@MinteerLab Congrats Shelley!

Thanks! I am honored to be selected among such a distinguished group.

A fully funded PhD position in the field of electrocatalysis is now available in our group at UCD. The project focuses on the catalytic electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2R) as a future renewable energy technology. Please email your CV and Cover letter to leila.negahdar@ucd.ie.

@AptaWineClub @paoloactis Looks like great weather for the conference! Wish I was there with you guys!

Finally got to meet @paoloactis in person at the Bioanalytical Sensors GRC after years of following his nanopipette work! Looking forward to finding routes to work together on DNA nanopores! #TeamNanopipette 🧬🥂

@naomi_desouza @CliffPPhoto @birmingham_live Would be interesting to hear their response! There are nearly 30 flights between the 7-9am peak this AM, at 180/plane that's more than 5000 passengers, it will take 2h+ to get them all through security with 12 scanners in use. Might be one for @BBCMoreOrLess to look at also!

@echemucd @CliffPPhoto @birmingham_live Machines, yes, they are looking to (but those machines are also not working at their full capacity atm because of limit). Scanners, not sure, can ask

I spent 2 hrs this morning with Birmingham Airport’s CEO Nick Barton. We asked what’s really causing the queues, when the security hall will come into full operation, and how they’ll manager summer. I asked if it’s been stressful, he replied “yes.” Story coming @birmingham_live

@naomi_desouza @CliffPPhoto @birmingham_live Insufficient body scanners for no. of departing flights/passengers. I counted 12 scanners total last time through.. At 20s per scan the max throughput is 36 pax/min or 2160 pax/hour, which is not enough for the morning peak period. Will they be installing more!?

@CliffPPhoto @birmingham_live We've certainly been covering the queues too. Will have a piece out shortly on the cause of those early morning scenes birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

@wesandpete @bhx_official Insufficient body scanners for no. of flights. I fly weekly and counted 12 scanners. At 20s per scan the max throughput is 36ppl/min or 2160ppl/hour. If the average plane holds 180ppl, it will take nearly 2h to clear all the ppl for 20 flights during the morning peak period.

Just joined the Birmingham Airport security queue. It’s 5.18am - let’s see how quickly we get through. Don’t have fast track. I’ll do the job that the @bhx_official comms team don’t. Awful for anybody elderly, with a disability, kids or if it was raining #birminghamairportqueue

@ucdchemistry @keene_chemistry Congrats Eva!

Huge thank you to her exam committee pictured in the second photo Tony @keene_chemistry intern examiner, Prof. Mike Bowker of Cardiff University extern examiner, Robert @echemucd the chair of the exam committee

A Huge Well done and Congratulations to Eva Naughton who passed her PhD viva voce this afternoon! 👩‍🎓👏🍾 Pictured here with her supervisor James Sullivan @UCDEnvSusChem

@NanoECimaging Nice!

@AptaWineClub @paoloactis @Dshekemi @DamionCorrigan @CfsUcd @guerrinomacori This would be fun!

@paoloactis @echemucd @Dshekemi @DamionCorrigan @CfsUcd @guerrinomacori Yes can we have a symposium on aptamer nanopipettes in a conference in the near future?! 🧬🫶 would be so cool to meet this community!

Check out our latest work, led by @Dshekemi , and in collaboration with @DamionCorrigan , @CfsUcd, @guerrinomacori where we show that ICR in nanopipettes can be used to detect viral fragments from SARS-CoV-2.

@lab_luo @Patrick_Unwin Congrats Pat! Great news!

Big congrats @Patrick_Unwin ! Well deserved!
