Tom Coleman
City Coordinator
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Chalmers, from Adelaide, Australia. My main research passion is understanding how enzymes function. I also enjoy science outreach, visual design, making music, and hiking. Email me at coleman @ chalmers.se if you are interested in getting involved!
Vijay Raghavendran
Event manager
I am a senior research engineer at the Division of Industrial Biotechnology at Chalmers. I strive to bring my experience to train researchers and to ensure a smooth functioning of the lab. I enjoy listening to Western classical music, reading poetry, and communicating science.
Maggie Holme
Event manager
I’m from Scotland and have worked and studied in London, Switzerland and Stockholm before starting my own group at Chalmers. I love working with multidisciplinary teams to study super small stuff, including lipid nanoparticles, using X-rays and neutrons!
Gaia Olivo
Event manager
I am a medical doctor, and assistant professor at Göteborgs Universitet. I study brain plasticity, i.e. how our brain structure and function change in response to learning new skills. Outside of the lab, I enjoy lifting weights, pole dancing, and singing!
Jennifer Gilbert
Event manager
As a postdoctoral researcher at Chalmers, I study how lipids, one of the building blocks of the cell membrane, form different nanostructures and how they change in response to their environment. I love showing people how science is part of their daily lives, not just in distant research labs!
Johannes Reldin
Event manager
Research engineer at Onsala Space Observatory. Supporting, developing, and maintaining the telescopes, receivers, and other equipment at the observatory. Also an amateur astronomer, hobby welding and leather worker. My favourite hangout is on the porch with my dog and my cat.
Nathália Vilela
Event manager
I’m from Brazil and have been working with yeast since I completed my bachelor’s degree. As a postdoctoral researcher at Chalmers, I investigate how yeasts adapt to challenging industrial conditions using tools such as adaptive evolution and multi-omics. I love bringing science closer to people!
Chloe Rantzos
Event manager
As a PhD student at Chalmers my research focuses on the use of fungal technologies to upcycle underutilized lignocellulosic biomass, such as agricultural waste. I enjoy sharing scientific knowledge, sports, films and cooking.
