NOMATEN - blog

Can the lifetime of a material, material solution or product be assessed accurately and in a cost-efficient way while extending its ultimate lifetime? Widely used, traditional methods of doing this do not provide these benefits while having limited predictive capabilities. At VTT, we decided it was time to change this status quo. 

Ms. Renata Mikołajczak is a professor at the NCBJ, representative of the Director for Scientific Affairs and National and International Cooperation at the POLATOM Radioisotope Center. Since the beginning she has been involved in NOMATEN as a member of the Intenrational Scientific Committee. At the European Pharmacopoeia Commission, she will lead a working group on the development of monographs on radiopharmaceutical precursors (Precursors for Radiopharmaceutical Preparations – PRP Working Party).

Javier Francisco Dominguez Gutierrez from from Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics gave a lecture on the topic Classification and quantification of material defects in damaged crystalline solids by machine learned based MD simulations and a novel fingerprinting and visualization tool at the National Centre for Nuclear Research.

The process of creating the NOMATEN Center of Excellence is entering a decisive phase: Professor Mikko Alava has assumed the position of director and will soon start completing research teams. CoE NOMATEN is to explore new functional materials. It was created thanks to a grant in the Teaming for excellence competition and thanks to the support of the Foundation for Polish Science.
