Prof. Rubén D. Costa is honored to be supported by the European Research Council (ERC) to realize the Proof of Concept (PoC) project CERES – Crop Efficient Red Emitting Sources. This generous funding will allow Prof. Costas Chair of Biogenic Functional Materials to explore new avenues of our multidisciplinary research portfolio supported by ERC-Co InOutBioLight.
The two researchers Prof. Clemens Thielen from the Professorship of Complex Networks at HSWT on the TUM Campus Straubing (TUMCS) and Dr. Jan Boeckmann were awarded the EURO Prize for OR for the Common Good 2024 by the Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO) at the beginning of July for the research article resulting from their project on heavy rainfall prevention.
Ken Albrecht, Andrew Monkman and I – U. Kyushu, U. Durham, and TUM Campus Straubing –have organized an international workshop on unconventional emitters and device mechanism covering TADF, chiral, protein and radical emitters applied to lighting, lasers, and photovoltaic surrounded by fresh spectroscopic, machine learning, and theoretical methodologies
On June 11th, 2024 the European Innovation Council and Small and Medium Enterprises Agency (EISMEA) funded project ECOMO (https://www.ecomo-eic.eu) organized a symposium titled “Carbon and Nitrogen Valorization: Sustainability in Focus”. The symposium was hosted by Dr. Hemlata Agarwala and Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Nicolas Plumeré from the Professorship of Electrobiotechnology (EBT).
Several TUMCS professorships are involved in “LifeSenMap”. BR accompanied the researchers and produced a report that can be viewed in the media library.
On June 6 and 7, a workshop on “Biological Materials Science” took place at the TUM Campus Straubing (TUMCS). The international workshop with exclusively invited, top-class speakers with a focus on biogenic, bioinspired, biomimetic and biohybrid materials for innovative optical, photonics and optoelectronics applications was organized by Prof. Cordt Zollfrank (Chair of Biogenic Polymers) and Prof. Rubén D. Costa (Chair of Biogenic Functional Materials).
