New FWO fellowships for LADCA
The Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) has announced the results of the annual call for PhD fellowships. Christine Vantomme and Thomas Staes received fellowships to continue their career in the CASCH consortium. Christine Vantomme will work on her project “Plasma-photocatalytic CO2 conversion with a plasmonic photocatalyst” in the LADCA group in collaboration with the research groups A-PECS and PLASMANT. Thomas Staes will join the LADCA team in collaboration with the SCK CEN Academy and VITO. He will develop improved technology for the challenging separation of radioactive Bismuth-213, used in the innovative clinical cancer treatment known as Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT), from its mother isotope Actinium-225. Congratulations to these young researchers!
