We welcome Tobias Gaydoul as new group member. He is working on silica-paper hybrid materials, investigating their mechanical properties and their potential regarding sustainable recycling of wet-strength paper and circularity.

Congratulations Dr. Mohadeseh Bagherabadi, who successfully defended her PhD thesis on Multifunctional Mesopores for Wound Dressing with Integrated Recognition, and Release Functions.

We welcome Tobias Hoffmann as new group member. He is working on nanoscale polymer writing in mesoporous silica layers and automatisation of visible light induced polymer functionalisation inside nanopores.
