SFB Member Mia Kvåle Løvmo interviewed by Innovation Tirol

We are pleased to announce that our SFB member, Mia Kvåle Løvmo, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Biomedical Physics at the University of Innsbruck, was interviewed by the magazine top.tirol in the Innovation Tirol section. The interview focuses on Mia’s research into a technology that utilizes ultrasound to move organoids in a controlled manner, without mechanical confinement, enabling the phenomenon known as “acoustic levitation.” The full interview (in German) can be found at: https://www.top.tirol/news-forschung-innovation/forschung-in-der-schwebe.

Presence in the celebration of University of Innsbruck 350th anniversary

Benedikt Pressl and Mia Kvåle Løvmo, members of the sub-project Imaging of Trapped Particles presented part of their work related to the SFB at the events “Campus Tage Technik” in April and “Fest der Wissenschaft” in June, as part of the 350th anniversary of the University of Innsbruck.

Scientists working at the Campus Technik presented aspects of their research (small presentations and experiments) to more than 1500 pupils. Benedikt was the coordinator and together with Mia, Franziska Strasser, Simon Moser, Alexander Jesacher, Lisa Bodner, Nicola Bregenzer and Martin Bawart gave hands-on experiments and exciting presentations about Optical tweezers and Lasers.
