We are delighted about continuing our collaboration with our partners in the Soft Matter Laboratory @ INIFTA in La Plata (Argentina).

We are very happy to share that Annette has been recognised as one of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s 2021 Outstanding Reviewers for the Journal Nanoscale Horizons. Explore the full list at OutstandingReviewers2021.

New Invited Feature Article in Chem. Commun. on how to push nanopore transport performance by using polymer functionalization. We are proud that our article has been highlighted as HOT ARTICLE 2022 by Chem. Commun.

We welcome Felix Krusch as new PhD student working on our Faudi Project on Nanopores in Membranes.

Our latest collaborative publication with the research group of Prof. Nicolas Vogel (FAU Erlangen) was highlighted in a comment in PNAS. We are happy we could provide some polymer functionalization expertise to this idea of the Vogel group!

We welcome Oleksandr Moskalyk as a new PhD student in our group. Alex will work on strategies for enzyme stabilization in nanopores.

Congratulations to Dr. Nicole Rath and Mathias Stanzel for getting the second place of the TU ideas contest 2021 with the Pioneer Fund project CeraSleeve (Collaboration with Prof. Biesalski).

We welcome Marius Kirsch as new group member. He will work on our DFG project related to plasmon induced nanolocal polymerization.

Congratulations to Maria for successfully defending her work on local placement of different functional polymers in nanopores for sensing. All the best for your future career!

Prof. Thommes ( FAU Erlangen ) is visiting us in the context of the GDCh lecture . We are looking forward to inspiring discussions.
