25.08.2020 Projects at the professorship
The joint project "GALACTIF - New Electroplating Coating Processes from Ionic Liquids" at the Chair of Materials and Surface Technology was completed in the middle of the year. The aim of the joint research project was to use new technical approaches to create the basis for a cost-effective, environmentally friendly coating technology using ionic liquids.
07.08.2020 Events of the Professorship
The doctoral seminar, which takes place once a year at the Chair of Materials and Surface Engineering, has been supporting young scientists on their path to a doctorate for several years now. From 13 to 15 July 2020, 16 doctoral students took the opportunity to present the progress of their dissertation topic and then answer questions from their supervisor Prof. Thomas Lampke and the interested audience. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the seminar took place under different conditions, but was nevertheless a complete success.
