Carlos Lange Bassani received a Humboldt Research Followship. The Humboldt Fellowship allows researchers from abroad in all disciplines to carry out their own long-term research project in collaboration with an academic host of their choice at a research institution in Germany.
The faculty of engineering highlighted the prestigous award with a Research Profile.
Congratulations!
Fru Mbah Chrameh defended his thesis and obtained a PhD in Engineering. The title of his thesis is: “Numerical simulation of colloidal self–assembly in spherical confinement: From kinetics and thermodynamics to photonic colour”.
Congratulations!
The following Saturday,
Oct 19, 2019, 18h–1h, in the foyer of IZNF (Cauerstraße 3)
our lab will participate at Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften, an established form of public relations activity in Germany. We will present our work in form of interactive particle simulations, 3d visualizations, and a small hands-on experiment involving a laser interacting with a colloidal monolayer.
Kommen Sie uns besuchen!
Our joint work with Nicolas Vogel and Erdmann Spiecker advanced the understanding of the structure, defect accumulation and thermodynamics of colloidal clusters on and off magic numbers and was awarded this month’s cover for ACS Nano. Congratulations Junwei and Chrameh!

EAM Science meets Fiction is a scientifically oriented exhibition that includes literature contributions. Our lab contributed one computer rendering of a clathrate crystal made from triangular bipyramids taken from a recent publication.
The exhibition takes place from Sept 16 to Oct 27 in the church “Kreuz+Quer, Haus der Kirche”, Bohlenplatz 1, 91054 Erlangen.
In the summer 2016 EAM newsletter, Michael Engel as new EAM professor and the work of the research group are highlighted in an interview. The newsletter can be found here.
