We are happy to announce that on October 14th, 2024, Malvina Supper very successfully defended her PhD thesis titled "Development of High-Resolution Chromatographic Processes for the Separation of Polydisperse Polymers and Nanoparticles".  During her time in our group, Malvina made significant co...

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...

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...

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...

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...
