Lamberti’s Post

On Monday we took part in the annual Job Forum of the JungChemikerForum (JCF) der Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker e.V. (GDCh) at the Wechloy Campus of the Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg. The theme of the event was “Chemical Perspectives in the Northwest”. The inspiring discussions and many questions at our stand showed us how important such events are – not only for students, but also for us as an employer: • Direct communication: Presenting our company in person gives us the opportunity to authentically communicate our corporate culture, values and goals. • Talent search: We can get in direct contact with highly qualified and motivated young people. • Employer brand: Through our presence and commitment, we show our interest in the next generation of professionals and strengthen our special relationship with the University of Oldenburg and the Department of Chemistry. • Feedback and Trends: We get direct feedback from students about the perception of our company and we can exchange about current topics and trends in chemistry. • Network building: We get in touch not only with potential own employees, but also with potential future customers and are already looking forward to the future cooperation. • Innovations and ideas: The exchange with young, fresh talents gives us new perspectives and challenges us to expand innovative ideas. It was nice for us to see that the chemical industry is full of curious and talented young people. #kraemer #universitätoldenburg #chemistry #sustainability

For an international technology student, a Master's thesis in the private sector increases the chance of having a field relevant job in Finland after graduation by over four times (according to Tekniikan akateemiset TEK data). For companies, a Master's thesis being done by an international student gives a low barrier, low risk entry into an international workforce. This ensures you have not just the best worker for that thesis, but in future work as well. Both universities in Aalto University and Tampere University have a hugely international intake, but this intake struggles to get these positions via the "usual" routes, despite their talent. Thesis Days and Thesis Fairs give the chance to skip out many of the obstacles that stand in the way of this mutually beneficial collaboration. I urge companies to sign up either in Aalto or in Tampere or both for the events in the Autumn! You won't regret the decision. Aalto: https://lnkd.in/d_zMihUg Tampere: https://lnkd.in/d7YbTqcF

And today is the last day to apply to a post doctoral position at the research center COMEGI Centre of Research on Organisations Markets and Industrial Engineering. The projet aims at exploring and defining characteristics of successful business models based on sustainability. More information on the website of University Lusíada or in the Internet as several means of diffusion were used. #postdoc #research #lusiada

💎 Do you have a success diary? 👑 Earlier this year, one of my manuscripts was rejected twice in a span of two months. Just a week later, I got an email saying “Having completed the evaluation, we regret to inform you that your proposal, despite its merits, can unfortunately not be funded, given the budgetary resources available for the call.” That was a major grant rejection for a project I spent several months writing and was hopeful to get funding for. Does this sound familiar? Failure and rejections are an intimate part of academic life, there is no escaping that. Sometimes, they will slow you down Sometimes, they will make you question your self-worth Sometimes, they will turn your life completely upside down Sometimes they will knock you down And just sometimes, they will make you want to give up completely But how do you handle rejections? Especially after you have invested so much time into something and you get a big fat NO? I read my SUCCESS DIARY. This is a list I write of all the things I have achieved; small ones, big ones, significant, insignificant, it doesn’t matter! I write down whatever I do that I am proud of. And when I get a rejection that makes me question why I am doing this, I read my list. And sometimes, I also write down how I was feeling at the time and when I read it later, it brings back those memories. - I passed my doctoral state exams on the first try (Yay!). - I wrote the abstract of my PhD thesis even though I didn’t feel like it. - I gave a great lecture at the 17th ESC Conference in Florence, Italy. My talk was nominated for best speech by P&G (Totally unexpected, feeling proud!). - My major PhD work where I established the link between ultramicropore volumes and carbon dioxide adsorption was accepted for publication in Chemical Engineering Journal. - My first IGA proposal was accepted for funding. - I was selected with full sponsorship from BASF to participate in the 135th International Summer Course in Ludwigshafen, Germany. - I obtained great results during my internship at ETH Zurich. - During my undergraduate graduation, I was awarded as the overall best student. (It was a great feeling to have all my family there to support me, it meant a lot to me). - I was awarded the Erasmus Mundus Full Scholarship to study an MSc in Membrane Engineering (couldn't believe my eyes when I read the email). Even though we can't avoid failures completely, we can have a strategy to help us deal with them. I also constantly remind myself of my "WHY", why I chose this path and why I am doing this in the first place. Do you also write a success diary? What has helped you all to handle these chain of rejections? How do you come back to a healthy state of mind after you have been knocked down by a rejection? I'd love to hear from you!

I am thrilled to announce that I have the opportunity to conduct research in the fascinating field of microtribology this summer Our project focuses on understanding how friction develops between two sliding surfaces at very tiny contacts and high speeds—conditions that are prevalent in mechanical devices of all sizes. The goal is to uncover why certain solid lubricants create exceptionally low friction under specific conditions. This understanding is crucial for developing new technologies and reducing energy waste in everyday machines.
