Very grateful for prestigious #ERC #PoC grant @ERC_Research!
#ScaleHES will scale our #high #entropy #sulfides for #catalysis & #tribology #application tests!
Many thanks to my 2D+ group for making this happen!
Upcoming collabs: K. Föttinger & C. Gachot. 👍

Many congratulations to our newly minted 2D+-PhD: Dr. Yan Chen! 🎓
Yan has been working on synthesis of medium- & high-entropy sulfides funded by @ERC_Research #CoG #HighEntropy2D
Thanks to external examiners Markus Kratzer & Karin Föttinger!
@chemistry_tuw
Very excited that 2D+ group's spin-off ZapTherm secured a #FFG Expedition Zukunft START #grant! 🚀
The grant enables us to advance the ZapTherm technology for direct, contactless & spatially resolved analysis of #thermal properties in #advanced #materials.
@chemistry_tuw
2D+ group very happy to collaborate on Gulnaz Gahramanova's new paper on #carbon #nanotube #composites for #electrical & #thermal!
Notably, also first publication using our spin-off #ZapTherm technology for #thermal #materials #characterisation!

Austrian tech meets Indian scale, spurs joint innovation!
The 1st ever India Science Day was celebrated at @tu_wien with the support of the Embassy.
In his address at the opening ceremony, Ambassador @shambhukumaran spoke of the deepening 🇮🇳🇦🇹 science partnership and the opportunities for stronger institutional collaboration between Indian and Austrian Universities.
The event featured presentations on ongoing collaboration between TU Wien and Indian universities including IIT Kanpur and IIT Kharagpur as well as panel discussions on research partnerships and technology development across the two countries.
