Check out the film of the RSC about the Horizon Prize on Protein-Lighting 2021!
We and all the collaborators/friends are very grateful for the Royal Society of Chemistry for this honor!
We keep working hard to meet the high expectations!
Cu-Lighting Team Win Royal Society of Chemistry’s Prestigious Horizon Prize
A team of scientists from across Europe have been named the winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Dalton Division Horizon Prize, celebrating the most exciting chemical science taking place today. Among them is the the team of Prof. Rubén Costa, head of the Chair for Biogenic Funcitonal Materials at TUM Campus Straubing.
Successful Cooperation Initiative Application: Aalto Universty and Technical University of Munich
We are very grateful that our joint initiative has been approved for funding. This will help us to explore new concepts in bio-hybrid materials for energy in collaboration with our colleagues Prof. Mauri and Dr. Anaya.
Congratulations to Luca for winning the Young Researcher Award from Symposium D1, E-MRS Spring Meeting 2022!
On the 1st of June 2022, Luca presented our latest results at E-MRS Spring Meeting 2022 and contextually he has been awarded with the prestigious Young Researcher Award from European Materials Research Society.
Congratulations to Luca for his talk to e-MRS Spring Meeting 2022!
On the 1st of June 2022 (second anniversary of our Chair), Luca presented our latest results at E-MRS Spring Meeting 2022 with a focus on biogenic electrolytes for lighting. He presented promising results obtained with cellulose-based polyelectrolyte applied in light-emitting electrochemical cells.
Congratulations to Marco for his presitigious Master Thesis Award!!!
Marco won the ‘Wissenschaftspreis Straubing 2022’. This price is awarded to students and scientists working at the Competence Center for Renewable Resources and have drawn attention to themselves through special achievements and outstanding dissertation or master’s thesis. Marco was awarded for his master’s thesis focused on the implementation of new fluorescent proteins and biopolymers in hybrid LEDs under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Rubén D. Costa at the Chair of Biogenic Functional Materials (TUM Campus Straubing).
