About 500 participants gathered for a stimulating exchange of scientific knowledge at this year's Bunsen Meeting 2023, a renowned conference in the field of physical chemistry. Being a participant at the conference, I had the chance to make several contributions. On the one hand, I had the opportunity to present my research by giving a talk. On the other hand, as an active member of the Young Physical Chemists (yPCs) of the German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry e.V., I was involved in the organization and execution of the penal discussion PhD – and then? as well as a juror for the Agnes-Pockels PhD award.

  09.02.2022 – Now we repair!

Check out our latest publication Active repair of a dinuclear photocatalyst for visible-light-driven hydrogen production on the mechanistic understanding of the catalytic cycle of a dinuclear RuPt photocatalyst. We present active repair strategies that allow to increase the catalytic activity from a few hours to a few days. The complementary study includes e.g. catalytic studies, operando steady-state and transient absorption spectroscopy, as well as (TD-)DFT simulations.

  01.07.2022 – Joining the yPC of the German Bunsen Society

I am happy to announce that I joined the board of the young Physical Chemists (yPC) of the German Bunsen Society. I am looking forward to a great teamwork with the other members to engage myself for the young scientists.

  24.06.2022 – PhD Award Uni Jena

I am delighted to announce that I have won the PhD Award from the Faculty of Chemistry and Earth Sciences of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. Unfortunately, I could only attend the ceremony online so there is no picture with the certificate. 😉

Many thanks to the working group, collaboration partners (especially the CataLight team) and my supervisor Benjamin Dietzek-Ivansic – Without YOU this would not have been possible.

  21.06.2022 – KiMoPack - Do more than just Sum of Exponential Analysis

In chemical research and industry, understanding light-driven reactions is critical for developing design methods for photoactive molecules. Appropriate data analysis makes a significant contribution to this understanding. In this context, I proudly present our latest publication about KiMoPack: A python Package for Kinetic Modeling of the Chemical Mechanism.

  25.05.2022 – Women support women.

In the Women in Photonics Workshop at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology in Jena (Germany), about 80 participants out of 14 countries had the opportunity to inform themselves about career opportunities in the photonics sector and to exchange ideas in more than 40 presentations. Thankfully, I also had the opportunity to present my research results concerning the operando-spectroscopic investigation of photocatalytic multi-electron processes. Overall, it was very inspiring and a great pleasure to meet such brilliant minds and scientists and to share my research with them.

  05.03.2022 – Tutorial: KiMoPack

The tutorial will take place on 25/03/2022 between 8:30 and 16:30 via Zoom. Under the following link you will find the installation instructions, presentation slides, group challenges, exercises as well as the Jupyter notebooks that are used in the hands-on sessions.
