Working group IANiS next meeting

Ph.D. students, PostDocs, and affiliated members of SFB-TR 87 are invited to contribute ideas and directions towards future joint plasma and materials science research projects. Inspired by the established insights of the past and current funding phases, we ask every subproject to bring up the most exciting and innovative scientific topic in a short pitch. Brainstorming together in the group will enable to generate new ideas and identify promising directions.

The workshop will proceed in two parts (this is part 2):

1) Participants review challenges presently encountered, as well as possible pathways envisioned to tackle them. (13-Jan-2022)

2) Discussion of the previously proposed topics and topics possibly discussed during the Summit Meeting, with a focus on overlap in research questions and a common agenda for potential future proposals. (22-Jun-2022)

We explicitly invite all project areas of SFB-TR 87 as well as the Mercator Fellows of SFB-TR 87 and intend to foster a continued  exchange towards future collaborations.

Rahel Buschhaus from project C7 wins poster prize at DPG conference 2022

Congratulations to Rahel Buschhaus from experimental physics II who won the poster prize in the category 'Phd students in low-temperature plasma physics'. During the annual DPG spring meeting, Mrs. Buschhaus presented a poster entitled 'Ion-induced secondary electron emission of metal surfaces analyzed in an ion beam experiment'. This was rated as the best poster by the reviewers during the poster session. She received the best rating among 25 posters in its category.
