New pinned!
Hello! My name is Lena and I'm a chemistry student in my final year of uni.
I completed my BSc thesis in the same research team in which I'm currently working on my MSc: a lanthanide electronic spectroscopy group. We are currently focusing on studying hydration equilibria; I enjoy it all very much, because I get to combine my two favorite branches of chemistry: inorgo and pchem! Some of the subdisciplines that are of particular interest to me are: lanthanide chemistry, coordination chemistry, electronic spectroscopy, and, albeit very tentatively, electrolyte solution thermodynamics.
I love chemistry very much and I'm always willing to talk about it, so feel free to hmu if you have any questions!

Three of my sci comm posts that I particularly like and that neatly sum up most of my research interests: -> Equilibrium and one beautiful regularity (lanthanide coordination chemistry, hydration equilibria) -> Why some electronic transitions are forbidden and why that actually means jackshit (electronic spectroscopy) -> Solutions are stupidly complicated (electrolyte solution thermodynamics)
