YCN Newsletter 16 : Workshop in Aveiro, Portugal
Exciting news for everyone! After a challenging period of virtual interactions, we are thrilled to announce that the Young Chemists Network (YCN) is bringing back the thrill of in-person workshops!
With successful workshops held in Smolenice, Slovakia in 2018 and online in 2021, we are now ready to take the next step and gather for our 3rd workshop in the charming city of Aveiro, Portugal on April 19-21, 2023.
But that's not all - we are cooking up some exciting activities that will keep you engaged and entertained throughout the workshop. Get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with competitions and games, including a contest for the best oral and poster presentations, just like in the last two workshops!
To get a taste of the YCN workshop experience, have a look at our previous events: Workshop in Smolenice in 2018 and online YCN Student Pitch Contest "Pitch me your idea" in 2021. We cannot wait to see you in Aveiro, Portugal for another fantastic event! Stay tuned for more information and details on the workshop.

Interface Engineering: High-Temperature Interactions Between High-Entropy Ceramics and Metals.
My research explores high-temperature interactions between high-entropy ceramics (HECs) and metals, with a focus on joining strategies for extreme environments. By understanding how metals wet and react with these advanced ceramics, I aim to design reliable interfaces for applications such as composites, coatings, and ceramic joining with functional properties. This work contributes to improving the performance and durability of materials used in demanding industries such as energy, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.
