I’m truly grateful to the Department of Applied Science and Technology at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy, for hosting me, and to the CA22155 EU-PoTaRCh for supporting my visit through a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) grant.
During this interdisciplinary research stay, I had the opportunity to explore the use of biochar in composite materials, bridging applied chemistry with polymer science, and to exchange know-how. This experience not only enriched my current work at the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) on forest-derived biochar, but also opened up exciting avenues for future collaboration and for promoting environmental sustainability research.
