E-MRS Fall 2018 Conference in Warsaw, Poland

Our group was represented at the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) Fall 2018 Conference in Warsaw, Poland by Anjana Devi, Jan-Lucas Wree and Sebastian Beer. This functional materials-based conference strongly focuses on thin films and the implementation in state-of-the-art technologies. We contributed two talks (Jan-Lucas and Anjana) and a poster (Sebastian) to present and discuss recent results of our research to the scientific community.

Hycoat Workshop in Ghent, Belgium

Four members of our group participated in the Hycoat Workshop on ALD/MLD in Ghent, Belgium.
HYCOAT is a “European Training Network for Functional Hybrid Coatings by Molecular Layer Deposition” which focuses on the development of MLD processes for the fabrication of hybrid thin films implemented in future technologies such as life science and medicine.
Parmish Kaur, who is about to start her PhD in the IMC group will work together with other PhD students of this project and conduct research on MLD precursors and process design.
