Invited seminar "Gold nanotetrapods: shape and function" - 20 November 2025

20/11/2025
Center of Excellence in Bioengineering - eBio-hub was delighted to organize an invited seminar by Dr. Doru Constantin, Senior CNRS Researcher at the Charles Sadron Institute in Strasbourg, who visited the hub on 20 November 2025.

The seminar, titled “Gold Nanotetrapods: Shape and Function,” offered an in-depth exploration of the structural complexity and emerging applications of these remarkable nanostructures. During his presentation, Dr. Constantin provided a comprehensive overview of the synthesis, geometric features, and physical properties of gold nanotetrapods, emphasizing how their unique shape influences their optical and functional behaviour. He also discussed recent advancements in experimental techniques and modelling approaches used to characterize these systems, highlighting their potential impact in fields such as nanophotonics, sensing, and biomedical engineering.

The seminar attracted approximately 20 participants, including researchers, early-career scientists, and students from the eBio-hub community. The audience engaged actively in the discussion, raising questions that sparked a rich exchange of ideas about future research directions and interdisciplinary opportunities.

This event was organized by eBio-hub as part of its ongoing commitment to fostering scientific collaboration and promoting cutting-edge research in bio-inspired and nanoscale technologies.
