Assessing Biodegradation of Dopamine-Based Electrochromic Formulations for Ultra-Low Power Flexible Displays by Environmental Microbial Communities

Seedfunding
A square, textured artwork resembling moss, fungi, and coral structures is displayed in a forest setting with tall trees and a mossy ground.

Petra Pjevac from the Department of Microbiology and Ecosystem Science is leading the project "Assessing Biodegradation of Dopamine-Based Electrochromic Formulations for Ultra-Low Power Flexible Displays by Environmental Microbial Communities".

To ensure sustainable electronics truly biodegrade, researchers develop a standardized workflow to test organic materials in soil, water, and sediments.…

Towards Determining the Link Between Land Use Management, Microbial Composition, and Carbon Quality in European Peatlands

Seedfunding
A flat landscape with grassy fields, scattered wetlands, and a row of leafless trees beneath an overcast sky.

Kyle Boodoo from the Department of Geography and Regional Research is leading the project "Towards Determining the Link Between Land Use Management, Microbial Composition, and Carbon Quality in European Peatlands".

Peatlands store vast amounts of carbon, but drainage alters microbial communities and emissions. This project explores how microbes and organic matter interact across peatlands to…
