Overview

About the programme

The Design of Particulate Products research group at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) targets scientific breakthroughs in the product engineering of nanoparticles with optimised optical properties produced by continuous synthesis directly coupled to property-specific classification of nanoparticles by chromatography.

These challenges are addressed from different perspectives in four strongly interlinked research areas. These will be underpinned by the development of joint methodologies in synthesis, classification, characterisation as well as modelling, simulation, and optimisation.

Programme Structure

The research fields of the planned CRC are divided into four thematic and highly interlinked RAs:

RA A will study continuous processes for NP formation and their self-assembly into well-organised optically active porous structures.
RA B aims to develop novel SPMs and processes for NP classification with respect to size, shape and surface properties.
RA C will employ high-end methodologies for the multidimensional characterisation of single NPs, SPMs and particle ensembles with respect to their surfaces, diffusive transport and disperse properties including size, shape as well as porosity.
RA D will provide models for particle interactions, particle transport and self-assembly. Based on a novel framework of unified balance equations, NP synthesis and their chromatographic separation will be modelled and optimised with respect to structure-property-process functions taking uncertain conditions into account.

Student insurance

Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:

Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
Liability
Home contents and baggage
Accidents
Legal aid

We partnered with Aon to provide you with the best affordable student insurance, for a carefree experience away from home.
