Assistant Professor Christina Birkel, an inorganic chemist from Arizona State University’s School of Molecular Sciences and Cooperations Professor at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, has earned a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation. Birkel and her group are diligently working to create new materials that can be used for renewable energy, catalysts and permanent magnets.

Chemie-Doktorand der TU feiert Spitzenerfolge im Degenfechten

Peter Bitsch schafft es, wissenschaftliches Arbeiten und Hochleistungssport gut unter einen Hut zu bringen. Während der Promotionsstudent im Fachbereich Chemie mit Reagenzglas und Pipette hantiert, greift er in seiner Freizeit zum Degen. Der Spagat fällt nicht immer leicht.

In his dissertation, Dr. Jan Bogen developed a variety of new methods for the generation, screening and engineering of tumour-specific antibodies. These included a novel method for the construction of immune libraries based on bidirectional vector systems, an approach for the rapid and effective humanisation of therapeutic

During ACHEMA 2022, in addition to the numerous exhibitor booths, there was also a congress program highlighting current trends in process technology. As part of this, Professor Busch chaired the session “Polymers from Renewable Carbon Sources for Circular Economy” on August 23.

Maximilian Pfeiffer received the prize Vereinigung von Freunden der TU Darmstadt e.V. (Association of Friends of the TU Darmstadt) for his outstanding Master's thesis in the working group of Professor Hess entitled: Investigation of Au-doped SnO2 gas sensors using transient IR spectroscopy.

Besides the development of novel approaches for targeted tumor therapy, Peter Bitsch, doctoral candidate in the group of Prof. Kolmar, also fights real opponents performing olympic epee fencing on a professional level. Competing at this year’s German Championships in Berlin during the sports event Finals 2022, he proved himself back at national top levels and ended up at an excellent 3rd place. Congratulations to that bronze medal, we hope for even more!

Projekt „Be with it!“ erhält Franziska-Braun-Preis für Gleichstellung

In Natur- und Technikwissenschaften, in denen zur Energiewende geforscht wird, sind Frauen immer noch marginalisiert. Das Projekt „Be with it!“ will deshalb Schülerinnen und Studentinnen für grüne Berufe und Forschung begeistern. Dafür ist das Vorhaben des Teams Fachdidaktik/Juniorlabor im Fachbereich Chemie der TU Darmstadt gestern (23. Juni) mit dem diesjährigen Franziska-Braun-Preis für Gleichstellung ausgezeichnet worden, der mit 25.000 Euro dotiert ist.

Kristina Zentel received the “Top Downloaded Article” award for her paper “Using a Multiscale Modeling Approach to Correlate Reaction Conditions with Polymer Microstructure and Rheology” from Wiley. This makes the paper one of the most downloaded articles within the first year of publication between 1st January 2019 and 31st December 2020.

Nach zwei ganzen Drehtagen hat der Fachbereich neue Videos über unsere Forschungsaktivitäten, den Studiengängen Chemie, Biomolecular Engineering, den Lehramtsstudiengängen sowie zu den Jobperspektiven unserer Absolvent*innen und der Begeisterung unserer Studierenden für ihr Fach. Ganz herzlichen Dank an alle Mitwirkenden!

Merck and TU Darmstadt named John F. Hartwig, Henry Rapoport Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, as the seventeenth recipient of the Emanuel Merck Lectureship. Hartwig is being recognized for his outstanding work in transition metal catalysis. His achievements in transition metal chemistry have brought the design of molecules and syntheses to a new level – not only in an academic context where almost every total synthesis involves a catalytic transformation, but also for the industrial production of numerous pharmaceuticals. He has published more than 450 articles in scientific journals, holds 21 patents and has contributed numerous chapters to textbooks. To make the
