Dolapo Onabule, a PhD candidate from the University of Glasgow, recently completed a three-month secondment at Labkicosmos, a company developing organic materials in Lille, France.
She had previously synthesized truxene and fluorene-based compounds at the University of Glasgow. Her subsequent secondment in Lille allowed her to analyse several properties of these molecules to assess their potential applications in the field of Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs).
She investigated their photophysical properties including their absorption and emission spectra. She also carried out thermal analysis measurements using methods such as Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Additionally, she studied the molecules’ electrochemical features using cyclic voltammetry and their electronic properties through theoretical calculations.
Outside of work, Dolapo took the time to explore several French cities. Her travels led her to Paris where she visited some of the world’s most iconic sites such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum and the Palace of Versailles.
