However, at Aarhus University not only was I able to observe people running all sorts of fancy CO<sub>2<\/sub> chemistry, but also was given chance to do my own experiments and hence test my theoretical hypothesis \u2013 Does a wider nanotube indeed enhance the performance of Co(TPP)? &nbsp;And it was a success! The collaboration resulted in a recent publication in <em>Organometallics<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Special thank goes to Assist. Prof. Xinming Hu, who was essentially my mentor during my time in Aarhus. It was so much fun working in the lab as well as meeting the collection of Andreas and Magnuser in the group.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the research, I managed to be there for Prof. Steen Pedersen\u2019s birthday and had a taste of this very traditional Danish cake. It did look a bit sad after a while!<\/p>\n<p>On the last day I managed to visit the famous ARoS Museum to appreciate some art.
