Research Successes
ERC Starting Grant: EUVORAM – Marcus Ossiander
In his ERC Starting Grant project, Marcus Ossiander is researching and developing a new nano-optic for ultracautery microscopes. This could open up many possibilities: For example, investigating solar cells, improving catalysis and other chemical reactions or finding out how fast digital communication can actually be.
Duration: 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2027

ERC Starting Grant: ELFIS – Birgitta Schultze-Bernhardt
In her ERC Starting Grant project, Birgitta Schultze-Bernhardt is investigating the interaction between UV light and matter in a spectral range that has been little researched to date. The results could be used in atmospheric research.
Duration: 1 May 2021 to 1 May 2026
