No corners or edges - Chemical engineer from FAU receives 2.5 million euros from European Research Council for research into new reaction accelerators. Continue

Every MAP student has to write a literature review. For one semester, students deeply engage with a chosen research topic and by resuming its results in an article of about 5 DIN A4-pages. On this basis, Eric Goerlitzer, MAP student from 2015 to 2018, also worked on his literature review. Since t... Continue
