Prof. Dr. Vera Slaveykova | University of Geneva, Switzerland

Lecture topic: Environmental Fate and Impact of Engineered Nanomaterials

 

Research focus: speciation and bioavailability of trace elements and nanoparticles in the aquatic environment; aquatic toxicology of inorganic contaminants, nanoparticles and microplastics; transcriptomics and metabolomics; community ecotoxicology and biodiversity in aquatic systems.

 

 

 

Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Voigt | TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany

Lecture topic: Solubility data and experiments for lithium extraction and recycling


Research focus: materials science, with particular emphasis on thermodynamics, phase equilibria, and the development and characterization of advanced materials.
 

Prof. Dr. Michael Steiger | University of Hamburg, Germany

Lecture topic: Crystallization in confinement: Solubility issues related to cultural heritage conservation

 

Research focus: crystallization phenomena, salt weathering, and the physicochemical processes governing the deterioration of porous materials.

 

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zahari Vinarov | Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Bulgaria

Lecture topic: The role of solubility and solubilization in pharmacy: from drug discovery to drug development

 

Research focus: the development and characterization of oral drug formulations, mechanisms of intestinal absorption, lipid-based drug delivery systems, and the physicochemical processes that control drug solubility and bioavailability.
