Abstract:

The following talk will be dedicated to introducing the development in a novel approach to modus operandi of electrochemical biosensors. By implementing a real-time impedimetric monitoring under various electric field and combined with statistical data analysis tools we obtain full impedance characteristics constituting an explicit fingerprint of the macromolecular interactions [1,2]. This measurement methodology, multiparametric impedance discriminant analysis (MIDA), processes large amounts of generated impedimetric data and brings information on most effective measurement conditions (DC polarization, AC amplitude, frequency range, etc.). The proposed approach neglects some of affinity biosensors reproducibility issues, typically induced by non-specific adsorption and fouling.

Bio:

Jacek Ryl obtained his Ph.D. and D.Sc. in chemical technology in 2010 and 2018, respectively. From 2021, he works at the Institute of Nanotechnology and Materials Engineering, Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics, at Gdańsk University of Technology. He is the head of the Division of Electrochemistry and Surface Physicochemistry. In his scientific work, he focuses on topics related to electrochemical sensors, corrosion and degradation of functional materials, description of non-stationary electrode processes and surface physicochemistry. Currently, he conducts research related to the use of nanomaterials and additive technologies in molecular diagnostics.

He was the PI of scientific projects (NCN Sonata, Sonata Bis, Opus, Iuventus+, KBN). He is a multiple winner of GUT Rector’s Awards for scientific achievements and awards for young scientists. He received a scholarship from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (2017) and a scientific award from the 4th Division of Technical Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences (2019). He is the author or co-author of over 50 expert opinions and analyzes for industrial partners and numerous publications in renowned scientific journals. He is the member of the editorial boards editor for Green Biomaterials, Molecules and Frontiers in Chemistry. He is the author of over 200 JCR publications (H index = 34).

IEEE NANOTECHNOLOGY COUNCIL – Motivational Series
Webinar for IEEE Region 8 NTC YPs

Date: 8th March 2023 RESCHEDULED:  15th March 2023
Time: 12:00 PM (GMT +1)
Panelist: Dr. Antigone Marino 
Title: “Inside Out the Comfort Zone”

Register below. Free.

Abstract:

* Have you ever tried to identify the limits of your comfort zone?
* The comfort zone is a behavioral state within which a person operates in an anxiety-neutral condition, using a limited set of behaviors to deliver a steady level of performance, usually without a sense of risk.
* Often, without realizing it, we are the ones that somehow limit our professional growth.
* Entering and leaving the comfort zone is an art, that can often become a game to grow professionally!

Speaker:

Dr. Antigone Marino is a researcher at the Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent Systems (CNR-ISASI). She received her master in Physics in 2000, and the research doctorate in New Technologies in 2004, both at the Physical Science Department of Federico II University of Naples. Her research activities are focused on soft matter optics, ellipsometry and structured light.

Thanks to her experience in science, she has set up a course for PhD students on professional development, ranging from the topics of soft skills to scientific communication, passing through social media, outreach and all the non-technical aspects necessary in scientific professions.
