We welcome our new team assistant Sandra Klatt.

Our group celebrated the end of an eventful year. With two new PhD students, one successfully completed doctorate, several successfully completed student and internship projects, 10 Publications, many conferences, group members winning awards, and having a project on the way to found a startup – we are really proud of our last years achievements. Together with participants of all macromolecular chemistry groups in our Chemistry Department at TU Darmstadt, we had an enjoyable evening with food, drinks and a secret santa. We wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of nanopores and polymer science in 2025!

Together with Prof. Omar Azzaroni and Prof. Galo Soler-Illia, we hosted the Scoping Workshop “Nanoconfinement in Chemistry” supported by the VolkswagenStiftung. For three days, participants from all over the world discussed the impact of nanoconfinement in science, technology and society. In many productive discussions we came up with numerous ideas to tackle important challenges in todays society inspiring future research. Thank you to all participants for sharing your valuable insight!
