Interview with Prof. Peter Dobson OBE, NanoFASE International Advisory Board Chair Professor Peter Dobson, Chair of the NanoFASE Advisory Board attended our Lancaster Annual Progress Meeting (September 2017) and provided detailed feedback on the scientific progress. Prof. Dobson's wide-ranging career is in tune with ...
Our second Annual Project Meeting (Lancaster, Sept. 2017) benefitted from the active presence of our Industry Partners (see our Consortium webpage). A special session allowed these partners to present their contribution to NanoFASE research and also their expectations for the second half of the project. We sat down with repre...
Andreas' speech from the ICEEN award ceremony (Sept. 2017) shares his perspective on the field and acknowledges guiding lights It is a great honor to receive this award in memory of Professor Steve Klaine, and to be asked to share some thoughts about the field of environmental nanosciences. The motivation behind m...
NanoFASE is developing a state-of-the-art integrated framework for assessing environmental release, fate and exposure for engineered nano materials. In dialogue with our Regulatory, Industry and Academic stakeholders, WP1 centres on developing the realism and pertinence of the NanoFASE case studies. Says leader Alison Cro...
As providers of nanomaterials, both industrial ones for real world relevance and bespoke synthesized NMs to allow more controlled experiments suitable for parameterization of the models, WP3 leaders Iseult Lynch and Marianne Matzke have an excellent overview of the project activities. As we approach the mid-point of the NanoF...
