For our work on the chromatographic separation of nanoparticles, we are looking for a young scientist interested in performing exciting research in this area with the aim of obtaining a PhD degree. The position is located in our Project B05 "Process Concepts for Size-Selective Nanoparticle Chromatography" within the Collaborative Research Center "Design of Particulate Products" (CRC 1411).

We are extremely enlighted that the Collaborative Research Centre 1411 will be funded for four more years - that is, until the end of 2027 - by the German Science Foundation. This very successful project aims at the targeted design of particulate products by rigorous optimisation of predictive struc...

Johannes Wieczorek presented our work on the chromatographic isolation of single homologs of polyethylene glycol (PEG) at the 14th European Congress of Chemical Engineering and 7th European Congress of Applied Biotechnology (ECCE/ECAB) held in September 2023 in Berlin/Germany. In his presentation, e...

We are very happy to announce that on July 20th, 2023, Jürgen Vargas Scnmitz successfully defended his PhD thesis 'Systematische Entwicklung adsorptiver Gastrennprozesse für Mehrstoffgemische'. During his research in our group, he developed a methodology for the systematic selection of experiments t...

We are happy to welcome Johannes Wieczorek, M.Sc., in our group! Johannes Wieczorek studied Life Science Engineering at FAU. He is currently finishing his master thesis on Modelling and optimization of chromatographic processes for the isolation of pure PEG homologs under co-supervision of Malvina S...

For her poster "Development of Preparative Chromatographic Processes for the Isolation of Pure PEG Homologs", Malvina Supper received one of three "Best Poster Awards" at the 18th International Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography and Allied Techniques (SPICA 2022, Oct 11-14, 2022)...

A dedicated session was organized for the honor of Prof. Andreas Seidel-Morgenstern (Max Planck Institute, Magdeburg, Germany) at this year's AIChE Annual Meeting in Phoenix/Arizona (USA). The Area Plenary: Adsorption and Ion Exchange acknowledged the important contributions of Andreas Seidel-Morgen...

Malte Kaspereit (co-authors Malvina Supper, Lukas Gromotka, Wolfgang Peukert) gave a presentation entitled "Development of Preparative Chromatographic Processes for the Classification of Nanoparticles" at the 18th International Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography and Allied Techni...

In a new open-access publication, we present results of our long-lasting investigations on the chromatographic separation of polyethylene glycols (PEGs). Syntheses of polymers like PEGs always yield products with a distribution of molar weights. The broader such distribution, the less defined are th...

Understanding diffusion of molecules or nanoparticles in pores is critical for the design of chemical reactions as well as separation processes by chromatography, adsorption, or porous membranes. Our group contributed to a recent paper that resulted from a broader collaboration within the Collaborat...
