From January 22–25, 2025, members of our lab took part in Una Europa StartScience and the Symposium on Future Materials & Technologies at the historic Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland (founded in 1364!). It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with researchers from both academia and industry.

Drs. Waseem Wani and Qiancheng Zhang delivered excellent oral and poster presentations, with Waseem winning a Poster Prize for his work on nanoelectromechanical characterization of hafnia thin films.

A huge thank you to the organizers in Kraków for putting together such an inspiring event—we’re excited for future collaborations within the Una Europa community!
