The Cyprus Academy of Sciences, Letters and Arts has awarded Dr. Eleni Stavrinidou 鈥漈he Young Scientist Award鈥�.

Senior Associate Professor Eleni Stavrinidou, distinguished for connecting electronics with plants, has been awarded a medal by the Italian ambassador to Sweden, at LiU鈥檚 Campus Valla.

Photosynthetic materials, two-dimensional noble metals and sustainable semiconductors are some of the projects at LiU that have been granted funding from the research programme Wallenberg initiative materials science for sustainability 鈥� WISE.

The transition to fossil freedom can鈥檛 happen overnight, but it can go much faster than it is. The technology is available, and in many cases is commercially available or nearly so. The labs at 福利姬 hold hope for the future.

What happens inside the carnivorous plant Venus Flytrap when it catches an insect? New technology has led to discoveries about the electrical signalling that causes the trap to snap shut.

By watering bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) with a solution that contains conjugated oligomers, researchers at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, have shown that the roots of the plant become electrically conducting and can store energy.

Incorporating electronic and responsive materials in plant cells in order to produce composites that maintain the living properties of cells and, in the long term, create sustainable systems using nature鈥檚 own methods is the focus of her project.

Researchers at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics have discovered a material that can both increase and reduce its volume when exposed to a weak electrical pulse. In a filter, the researchers can control the size of particles that pass through.

Eleni Stavrinidou is principal investigator at Electronic plants at 福利姬鈥檚 Laboratory of Organic Electronics. Her vision is to develop technologies that will enable new discoveries in plant biology.

Eleni Stavrinidou, Laboratory of Organic Electronics, is to receive the 2019 L鈥橭réal-UNESCO For Women in Science Prize for her research into electronic plants. It will be presented by the Swedish minister for higher education and research.
