Usage of Solar Energy for the Bioelectrocatalysis – Photobiohybrid Eletrodes for the Light-Driven Synthesis of Valuable Substances (II, SP B)

Zouni, Athina, PD Dr. (Honorary Chairs / Professors by Special Appointment / Part-Time Lecturers)

Duration of project: 02/2018 - 01/2021

The aims of the Tandem-project are light-triggered electrodes for efficient energy conversion. In the frame of the prolonged period of work it is planned to increase the efficiency of photobio-electrodes and also to couple them with enzymatic convers ...

Urban Tipping Points: Understanding Interaction Between Changing Land Use Patterns, Biodiversity and Economic Consequences To Enhance Liveable Cities (UTiP)

Haase, Dagmar, Prof. Dr. (Landscape Ecology and Biogeography)

Duration of project: 06/2017 - 05/2018

Urban ecosystems and related ecosystem services (e.g. climate regulation, recreation experiences, habitats for species) and biodiversity provide an important basis for the sustainable development of cities. They are an essential component for human w ...

Understanding the Role of Material Stock Patterns for the Transformation to a Sustainable Society - MAT_STOCKS

Hostert, Patrick, Prof. Dr. (Geomatics)

Duration of project: 03/2018 - 02/2023

Material stocks such as buildings, infrastructures and machinery, in combination with biophysical resource flows (materials and energy), deliver services to society. Material stocks are of crucial importance for sustainability due to their eminent so ...

Trees as Indicators of the Urban Heat Island

Schneider, Christoph, Prof. Dr. (Climate Geography)

Duration of project: 06/2017 - 10/2018

The project ‚Bäume als Indikatoren für die urbane Wärmeinsel (BIWi)‘ (= ‚Trees as Indicators of the Urban Heat Island') comprises a pilot study for generating and analysing chronologies of different tree ring parameters (tree-ring width, pointer year ...

Similarity Search for Richly Annotated Structured Patient Cases

Starlinger, Johannes, (Knowledge Management in Bioinformatics)

Duration of project: 10/2016 - 09/2019

Process-enhanced similarity search has a big potential to improve knowledge discovery and decision support in a number of disciplines, and especially in clinical medicine. Currently, the potential can not be exploited due to a lack of algorithms for ...

Photoswitchable Organocatalysts

Hecht, Stefan, Prof. (Organic Chemistry and Functional Materials)

Duration of project: 03/2009 - 08/2011

The combination of photochromism and molecular property changes promises an exquisite external control over chemical function with high temporal and spatial resolution. The development of photoswitchable catalysts, which possess two optically indepen ...

Multi-particle contribution to hadronic correlation functions using Chiral Perturbation Theory

Bär, Oliver, PD Dr. (Theoretical Physics / Phenomenology of Elementary Particles beyond the Standard Model)

Duration of project: 02/2017 - 02/2020

Current and future lattice QCD simulations with physically light pion masses face new challenges. Multi-particle states with one or more pions are expected to cause sizable multi-particle-state contaminations in hadronic correlation functions, leadin ...
