3rd year review report submitted

OK, first of all sorry about the long silence in this blog. I've been busy since the end of July and kept postponing writing here. I'll try to make up for it now in a huge batch of news.

The 3rd year report was submitted on time at the end of July. I think we made good progress and managed to publish adequately about nanostructure synthesis and about S/G interface phenomena. We also made good progress with the evaporation profile measurements, but publications in this field are a bit behind schedule. We are actively working to remedy this now. Fluctuation Enhanced Sensing experiments are somewhat behind schedule. It is a tricky field with lots of reproducibility issues. Results will come eventually. The 3 year output of the Porous Nanocomposites group is summarized below:

• Peer-reviewed publications in journals with impact factor: 53
• Other peer-reviewed publications: 10
• Cumulative impact factor: 169.3
• Independent citations: 70 (received by the Lendület publications)
• Money spent on improving the research infrastructure (e.g. new instruments): 89.9 million HUF
• Oral talks by group members: 34 abroad, 34 in Hungary,
• Poster presentations by group moments: 14 abroad, 4 in Hungary.

All in all, I am satisfied with our progress so far and hope to get the chance to continue this Lendület group for two more years.
