The Young Academy of Spain organized a III Workshop focused on crafting a winning proposal for the European Research Council (ERC). Rubén was moderator and part of the organization team of the workshop.
The event was streamed on the Young Academy of Spain’s YouTube channel.
We are very pleased to welcome our new team member – David Gutiérrez Armayor.
The main objective of his project is to stabilize fluorescent proteins in order to fabricate highly performing devices for lighting applications.
On the 1st of September 2022, Luca presented our latest results at EuChemS Chemistry Congress 2022 and contextually he reached the final stage of the prestigious competition European Young Chemist Award – PhD level, from European Chemical Society.
On the 1st of September 2022, Luca presented our latest results at EuChemS Chemistry Congress 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal, with a focus on the use of multivariate tools for copper complexes design. We re-though the way of approaching ligands design introducing multivariate analysis and highlighting the relevance of second order terms in this stage. Thus, we reached the milestone of white-emitting fully copper-based LECs.
We are very pleased to welcome our new team member Dr. Santosh Kumar Behera.
Dr. Behera is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at our chair. His research focuses on the design and development of phosphorescent and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)
small molecules for white light-emitting electrochemical Cells.
On 25th of July 2022, Prof. Dr. Thomas F. Hofmann (president of the TUM) came together with a group of students to visit the laboratories of the Chair of Biogenic Functional Materials. They were very much impressed about our research and advances on protein-based technologies. Stephanie Grümbel and Marco Hasler presented our promising work on bio-hybrid-LEDs based on fluorescent proteins. Our PhD students showed the procedure from the production of the fluorescent proteins over the phosphor preparation until the final characterization of our bright devices.
