Digital start of the research training group NANOHYBRID

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, not all of our colleagues are yet able to be here in Hamburg and start their research. Nevertheless, all colleagues and supervisors have come together for a digital kick-off meeting to start the NANOHYBRID Research Training Group. Until further notice, all seminars will be held digitally.

Further PhD candidates start their studies within the GrK NANOHYBRID

We are happy to welcome Stefano Piacentini, Sönke Wengler-Rust, Ferdinand Otto and Yannic Stächelin in the GrK NANOHYBRID. Stefano will investigate the synthesis and implementation of physically and chemically switchable molecular bridges. Sönke will focus on the synthesis and structure of dot/rod structures with tailored band alignment. Ferdinand will work at the department of physcis on growth of anisotropic metal structures by using proteins and Yannic will investigate the ultrafast carrier dynamics in dot/rod and double-dot/rod nanostructures.

The first PhD candidates start their studies within the GrK NANOHYBRID

Mareike Dittmar and Vincent Mittag start their PhD program in the GrK NANOHYBRID. Mareike will investigate the synthesis of hybrid nanosystems built of semiconductor dot-in-rod nanostructures and metal nanoparticles. Vincent will focus on colloidal semiconductor heterostructures consisting of two dots in a rod.

Further PhD candidates will follow Mareike and Vincent in May 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic delays also our recruitment and employment processes.
