NiNa - Institute for Materials Science, Kiel University Delegation
Christian Ohrt studied materials science and Engineering at Kiel University. Since earning his doctorate in 2015, Dr. Christian Ohrt has been working as the network manager for the North German Initiative Nanotechnology Schleswig-Holstein. His duties include enlarging the network and linking key players in nanotechnology across northern Germany and the Baltic Sea Region. As a network manager, he identifies collaborative opportunities between academia and industry, organizes nanotechnology-focused events and international conferences, and, more recently, manages a program to convey sponsorships by North German companies for international students.
Berit Zeller-Plumhoff holds a master in Applied Mathematics and a PhD in Bioengineering. As a PhD student she was focussing on tomographic imaging and image-based modelling of soft tissues. Since September 2016, she leads the project 'MgBone - Multimodal imaging for structural analysis of bone modeling induced by degraded magnesium implants' and works at the Hereon outstation DESY in Hamburg. Berit studies the impact of biodegradable implants on the crystallization and crystal orientation of newly formed bone.
Franz Faupel was born in Fritzlar, Germany, in 1957. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Göttingen in 1985, working on diffusion in alloys. In 1987, he joined the IBM Th. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, as a postdoctoral fellow studying mechanical properties of metal-polymer structures as well as diffusion and solid-state reactions in thin films. In 1988, he returned to the University of Göttingen where his research focused on diffusion in metallic glasses and other amorphous media, metal-polymer interfaces, and thermodynamics of high-temperature superconductors. Since 1994, Faupel has been a full professor and held the Chair for Multicomponent Materials within the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering at Kiel University where hass forming metallic melts, positron annihilation spectroscopy of defects in non-crystalline materials, and more recente is also a faculty member in the Physics Department. In Kiel, he extended his research inter alia to diffusion and glass transition in glly to functional nanocomposites and organic thin films, plasma nanoscience, plasmonics, magnetoelectric sensors, photocatalysis, and memristive devices for bioinspired neuromorphic circuits.
