Congratulations Dr. Dominik Richter, who successfully defended his PhD thesis on Local mesopore functionalization, characterization and ion filtration.

We welcome Melissa Waschinger as new group member. She is working on light-based fabrication and recycling of mesoporous silica using 3D-printing. Furthermore she is also working on automatisation of processes.

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.

On July 9th, our research group proudly joined the graduation ceremony held by the Department of Chemistry at TU Darmstadt. Herewith, we want to warmly congratulate Mohadeseh Bagherabadi for reveiving her doctorate. We also applaud our latest graduates Melissa Waschinger and Tobias Hoffmann on successfully finishing their master’s study. Well done folks!

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.

Our group took part of the Advanced Polymers via Macromolecular Engineering (APME) Conference in Catania. We shared our research with two posters and one lecture/oral presentation, fostering inspiring scientific exchange with leading scientists in macromolecular chemistry.
