We had the first retreat with the #PhDstudents of the 2nd cohort this week! The whole TIDE group went to Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler for 3 days. Besides discussing all the exciting new #research activities, there was also time for a tour of the Government Bunker and for socializing.

Christopher won a poster prize at #ICEL2024Kyoto! He presented his work on "Structure-#Photophysics Relationships to Fine-Tune the Singlet-Triplet Gap in #TADF emitters". Congratulations! @ICEL24Kyoto #research #PhDlife

As a member of @TIDE_rtg I had the opportunity to work in the research group of Prof. Chih-Jen Shih at ETH Zürich. Now I am going back to the @TheGatherLab with new knowledge about nanofabrication and new inspiration for further projects. Thank you for the great time!

Anja successfully defended her #PhDthesis! She investigated the growth of #HexagonalBoronNitride and achieved centimeter-scale #hBN films. The whole TIDE team congratulates! #proudPI #PhDone

Last week, Prof. Karl-Heinz Ernst (@Empa_CH and @UZH_en) was our guest and gave a lecture about "Magneto-Chiral Selectivity, Topological Self-Assembly and Molecular Motoring of Helical Aromatics on Surfaces". Thank you so much for your visit and the nice discussions over dinner!

Our latest work on modelling the impact of static and dynamic disorder effects on the charge transport properties of merocyanines. Congrats Nora, Sven and Robert! @TIDE_rtg @Ciamician_unibo @ChemUniCologne @FabriziaNegri #organicmaterials #softmatter https://t.co/g0UeUILjzI

The #PhDstudents of the 2nd cohort presented their exciting projects to the whole TIDE group. We are very much looking forward to see all these great #research plans coming to life! New ideas and possible collaborations were discussed afterwards at a nice barbecue @UniBonn.

Workshop weeks for the 2nd TIDE cohort! During the last two weeks, our new doctoral candidates got equipped with helpful skills for their PhD phase in trainings about ▪️#ScientificIntegrity, ▪️Self- and #TimeManagement, as well as ▪️#ResearchDataManagement (#C3RDM @UniCologne_D7)

Jakob visited the 9th EuChemS Chemistry Congress (@EuChemS_Congres) in Dublin, Ireland last week. He had a poster presentation about his #research on #Supramolecular #Nanopatterns of Caltrop-Shaped Molecular Platforms. @EuChemS #EuChemS2024 #ECC9

Flashback to @icsm2024 in Dresden – The TIDE group was represented in large numbers at the #conference focussing on conducting and #semiconducting #OrganicMaterials and contributed several #research presentations. @_juliawitt even won the poster prize! Congratulations! #ICSM

Manuel, Dirk, Klaus and Philipp are looking back to the On-Surface Synthesis International Workshop in Sant Feliu de Guíxols. Discussing research highly relevant for their TIDE projects, new cooperations were initiated - while enjoying a nice sea view. #OSS24 #OnSurfaceSynthesis

Congratulations, @_juliawitt! Great job!

One invited by Klaus, two talks - me and Robert - one poster by Sven and of course a nice group run along the river! Great experience, science and ideas at #icsm24 in Dresden! @TIDE_rtg @Ciamician_unibo @ChemUniCologne #organicelectronics #modelling

Could there be a better vehicle to conclude a #PhDjourney? Simon finished his one by successfully defending his thesis on #nanotubular #heterocycles. Great job! Congratulations from the whole team! #proudPI #PhDone

A big delegation of the TIDE team participated in this year's KOPO workshop on conjugated #oligomers and #polymers at #Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, organized by our PIs Prof. Arne Lützen and Prof. Sigurd Höger.

Yesterday, Robin defended his PhD thesis in which he used #ultrafastspectroscopy techniques to analyze #squaraine-based molecular aggregates. Congratulations! The success and the celebrations afterwards were very well-deserved! #proudPI #PhDone

Julian from @TheGatherLab successfully defended his PhD thesis on compact wirelessly powered #OLEDs. The whole TIDE group congratulates! #PhDone #ProudPI

We are very happy to welcome our 2nd cohort of #PhDstudents to the team! Their TIDE program started with lectures by the PIs, #research presentations by our 1st cohort PhDs as well as #labtours and informational meetings. We are looking forward to accompany your #PhDjourney!
