In the field of "Analytical Electron Microscopy on High Temperature Materials (Single-Crisalline Superalloys) for Aerospace Engines" in the new research group MNM at LEM. (as of now)

...in the field of high temperature electrolytic cells with analytical transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy to 01.06.21.

We are happy to welcome Mr. M.Sc. Florian Wankmüller in our team. He will support us in our research activities in the project "WirLebenSOFC"! We are looking forward to the cooperation.

We congratulate Prof. Dr. Gerthsen to her new tilte as "KIT Distinguished Senior Fellow". Thus, Ms. Gerthsen will continue to be present at KIT as well as to pursue her scientific topics and will be reachable under her previous contact data.

After more than 27 years! as head of the institute, Prof. Dr. D. Gerthsen will go into well-deserved retirement on 01.04. We thank her sincerely for the many good and successful years of leading the institute. She has played a major role in advancing the LEM and making it what it is today.
