Project This project is part of the interdisciplinary research program "Rational Design of Ceramic/Polymer Composite Materials with Tailored Properties - From Radiation Sensing to Energy Harvesting in Extra-Terrestrial Environments", which is conducted in collaboration with the <a href="https://www.ifam.fraunhofer.de/" target="_blank" title="Opens external link in new window">Fraunhofer IFAM</a>, the <a href="https://www.ceramics.uni-bremen.de/" target="_blank" title="Opens external link in new window">Advanced Ceramics group</a>, the <a href="https://www.dlr.de/irs/" target="_blank" title="Opens external link in new window">DLR Institute for Space Systems</a> and the <a href="https://www.uni-bremen.de/mapex.html" target="_blank" title="Opens external link in new window">MAPEX Center for Materials and Processes</a>. The aim of this interdisciplinary project is the development of novel composite materials for space applications, which allow the protection from and sensing of ionizing space radiation as well as the simultaneous generation of energy. This particular PhD project deals with the quantum chemical simulation of these materials, thus providing important impulses for the rational design and optimization of the materials.
