Visting lecturers – Dr Burcu Binici and Dr Alons Lends

In April, EACH students had the chance to be taught by two invited experts.

First, they had two lectures by Dr Burcu Binici, a specialist at TUBITAK UME (the National Metrology Institute of Türkiye), on April 14-15. She presented materials on CRMs in the chemistry field. Students had the opportunity to broaden their understanding of CRM, RM production, and the requirements for that.

Then, on the weekend of April 17–18, students took an intensive NMR course taught by Dr Alons Lends. He is currently working at the Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis. During his course, students covered topics from the fundamentals of NMR to its applications in metabolomics and material science.

“This is what makes EACH special: learning directly from experts. One of the best things about the EACH program is that it brings experts to teach specific parts of your curriculum or to give you a deep dive into fields you already know. That’s what makes you feel very comfortable, as you can get very good answers to your questions from experts,” – the feedback from EACH student Ahmed.
