"As a HyPERiON fellow, I had the privilege of working within an interdisciplinary team, engaging in collaborative projects that provided invaluable learning experiences. The diverse expertise within the program fostered a dynamic environment where I found myself constantly challenged and inspired. Together, we were able to bring projects with significant impact to completion, marking my time with HyPERiON a deeply fulfilling journey."
"It was a pleasure to be part of the HyPERiON family and to work in Dr. Lehmkuhl group. The work in my master thesis mainly focuses on integrating electrospraying to speed and yield a hydrogenation reaction inside a 3D printed reaction chamber. One application is a rapid generation of a hyperpolarized molecular contrast agent for medical imaging."
