It is always great to meet former #team members again - here meeting Shambhavi after almost 5 years of finishing her #PhD at #TUM. It was a joyful #discussion spanning a range of topics from #teaching #physics in #school and at #university to working at large scale #facilities like #synchrotron

A warm welcome to our new #Master #student Shilu Wang who is working on #high-performance #lithium #metal #batteries

Wishing you a Happy Chinese New Year! Will the Year of the Horse bring you and your family an abundance of strength, success, and unlimited new opportunities!
