President of TUM Prof. Dr. Thomas F. Hofmann visited our Chair

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.

ITN-STiBNite Consortium meeting in Vienna!

ITN-STiBNite Consortium meeting in Vienna!

Rubén, Luca and Sanchari met the other members of H2020 granted ITN-STiBNite in Vienna. It was a great opportunity to get update on the scientific results made by the consortium about sustainable 2D-materials! We also attended to the 1st Summer School on Self-Assembled Organic Materials. Great time and future collaborations!

Great honor teaching the best undergraduate students of Johannes-Turmair-Gymnasium!!

Great honor teaching the best undergraduate students of Johannes-Turmair-Gymnasium!!

Around 40 students spanning from 7 to 11 course of Johannes-Turmair-Gymnasium visited our Chair (Biogenic Functional Materials) at TUM Campus Straubing. Their curiosity was amazingly fresh. We all enjoyed the discussions about how nature produces their own light using chemical reactions, interference, among others. What is more, we discussed about the future of our technology and how our surprises looking at nature, which generates real solutions towards developing a more sustainable technological society.

We are looking forward to meeting them again next year!!

Thanks a lot to Nico Schambeck (Teacher at the Johannes-Turmair-Gymnasium) for this initiative and again many thanks to Stephanie Grümbel, Kelly Lim-Trinh, Marco Hasler and Alexander Mauz for the organization of the exciting experiments and the nice atmosphere working with the new generation of Straubinger scientist.
