Dániel Gardenö from the group of Karel Friess at UCT Prague spent 12 months in our group as a visiting PhD student. During that time he developed 2D Carbon membranes for gas separation and ultrafiltration. His results got international attention, and he recently received conference awards at the NA...
In cooperation with the group of Karel Friess from University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague (UCT), we are working on the joint FAU-UCT project “Novel precisely tunable 2D-membranes for targeted liquid separation via ultrafiltration”, which received the maximum possible funding of 5000 Euro ...
Pia Weiner joined us as a PhD student in June, 2025. She studied Chemical Engineering at FAU, and is now working as part of the CRC 1411 "Design of Particulate Products" in the field of the chromatographic separation of nanoparticulate systems. We are happy to welcome her to our team!
Johannes Wieczorek received the poster price at the 36th German Zeolite Conference (DZT) in Erlangen, Germany. The price was awarded by the DECHEMA-Fachgruppe Zeolithe. The DZT was organized by our Institute of Separation Science and Technology together with the Erlangen Center for Interface Researc...
Johannes Wieczorek received the 'Award for the best oral presentation' at the 20th Network Young Membrains Conference 2024 (NYM) in Prague, Czech Republic. The award is sponsored by the European Membrane Society. The NYM conference was co-organized by Dániel Gardenö from UCT Prague, who is a visitin...
Johannes Wieczorek gave a presentation at the 19th International Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography and Allied Techniques (SPICA) in Milan, Italy. SPICA is the most important event for scientists and developers from industry and academia who work in the field of preparative chrom...
A heartily 'welcome aboard' to Jan-Christoph Domagala, who joined our team as a PhD student in January, 2024! Last year, Jan-Christoph very successfully finished his master thesis project 'Determination of multicomponent sorption isotherms for the modeling of reversed-phase chromatography of polyeth...
In a recent open access paper we report on the isolation of individual homologs of polyethylene glycol (PEG) by preparative reversed-phase chromatography. Building upon a previously developed thermodynamic model, we were able to describe accurately the retention times of individual homologs based on...
We just published an exciting open access work where we present a new, very efficient chromatographic process for producing highly defined nanomaterials. Specifically, we devised a special two-column process, alternate pumping, for obtaining small, atomically precise gold nanoclusters at high purity...
