MAPEX Symposium 2022

"Electrochemical Material Processes"

The MAPEX Symposium 2022 took place at 5^th October 2022 at the University of Bremen.

MAPEX invited 8 keynote speakers from various national and international research institutions as guests to Bremen, who provided exciting insights in current research trends in electrochemistry.

From atomistic modeling of electrochemical reactions, photoelectrochemical devices for human space travel, energy storage and conversion or corrosion to the emergence of life itself, a broad spectrum of electrochemistry was covered by the speakers.

In addition to the keynote presentations, several young researchers from the University Bremen presented their work in various poster presentations and gave insight into current research in electrochemistry at the university. In between the informative presentations, there was time for discussion and networking and many new contacts were made. The successful day ended with a joint dinner and informal get-together. The MAPEX team would like to thank all participants for making this event such a success.

MAPEX CF-Workshop 2022

"Functional Oxides: Synthesis, Analysis, and Characterization"

Promoted by the MAPEX-CF investigation areas Spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction, this workshop connected researchers working with 'Functional Oxides' and provided different perspectives ranging from synthesis and characterization to the applications of such materials.Around 30 participants from diverse research areas ranging from Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering joined the event on June 9 and 10, 2022 at the campus of the University of Bremen and also online.

During the two days of the event, a multidisciplinary audience was able to follow invited talks from experts from Germany and abroad showcasing cutting-edge research done with oxides. Hot topics such as synthesis of nanoparticle oxides, thin-film and single-crystal growth, structure-property relationships, and advanced characterization techniques were covered and valuable discussions took place.

The event was closed with guided laboratory tours, where the participants could see firsthand the instrumentation available at MAPEX-CF within the investigation areas Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction, and Electron Microscopy.

A complete list of contributions can be found in the workshop's webpage.

MAPEX Methods Workshop 2022

"Fluid Dynamics"

The fourth MAPEX Method workshop was focused on Fluid Dynamics and addressed both experimental and numerical techniques. After being delayed twice, it finally took place on May 12th 2022. The event was fully booked and the audience was filled with around 40 (PhD) students, post docs and MAPEX members that participated in lively discussions. Prof. Marc Avila, director of the ZARM and co-speaker of MAPEX, started the morning with a comprehensive lecture on computational fluid dynamics, followed by three talks that focused molecular and particle diffusion, reactive flows, and multiphase flows. The afternoon sessions focused on experimental methods and started with a lecture of Prof. Andreas Fischer, director of the BIMAQ, giving an overview of experimental techniques to investigate fluid flows. This was followed by three talks that discussed rheology, flow visualization, and microfluidics. The event was accompanied by eight posters from PhD and master students. The day was brought to an end with beers and pretzels and stimulating discussions.
