Very Exciting News from the AK Kornienko!
Congratulations to our PhD student Morgan McKee, who has been accepted to participate in the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (Chemistry). What an honour! Morgan successfully went through a complex selection process: Prof Kornienko had proposed him to the University as a potential candidate for the meeting. The University as Academic Partner agreed and nominated him in turn for participation in the Lindau Meeting. It followed a fairly extended online application over several weeks and finally an evaluation process by a scientific committee of the Lindau Meeting. And YAY, he has been selected!
