First doctoral students start in the 4th Boysen-TUD Research Training Group

Dr.-Ing. Anna Martius (Managing director, center) with doctoral students (f. l. t. r.) Jeannette Leiteritz, Markus Leyser, Max Vater, Stefan Heidinger, Stefan Röher, Konstantin Schmidt, David Johannes Schreuder, Zizhe Wang, John Jursch, David Schlegel and Lauritz Bühler
On January 17, 2023, the "old" members welcomed the first five of the 17 new doctoral students of the 4th generation of the Boysen-TU Dresden Research Training Group with a joint onboarding morning, organsizational support, and a warm WELCOME!
As a reminder, four clusters are conducting research in the 4th Boysen-TU Dresden Research Training Group under the guiding theme of Hydrogen Economy - Strategic Element of a Future GreenGas Deal.
David Johannes Schreuder is the first representative of Cluster E "Hydrogen imports from the MENA region compared to hydrogen production in Germany". Markus Leyser, who has been working on the original bridge project BR3 ( SP E5 (BR 3) - Automated and Interpretable Modeling of the Energy Market with the Help of Machine Learning) for 10 months, has also joined the cluster. David Schreuder starts the project SP E2 - Plasma-chemical synthesis of energy carriers for the storage and transport of green hydrogen and as a basis for the production of e-fuels.
Collegiate Jeannette Leiteritz is the first representative of Cluster F "Impact H2 green", and is also joined by Zizhe Wang (SP F6 (BR 1) - Hydrogen4GreenIT) and David Schlegel (SP F7 (BR 2) - Comparative Methodology for the Development and Validation of Cryogenic and High Pressure Hydrogen Storage Systems made of Fiber-Plastic Composites in Aerospace). Jeannette Leiteritz will work on subproject SP F3 - Cumulative effects of renewable energy development on biodiversity over the next three years.
Fellows Stefan Röher and John Jursch are the first representatives of Cluster G "Electrocatalysts for a competitive hydrogen economy". Stefan Röher is conducting research in SP G2 - Functionalized carbon materials and operando analysis for molecular understanding of electrocatalytic activation of oxygen and hydrogen and John Jursch in SP G3 - Ensuring education for sustainable development and understanding of the process nature of scientific and technical research through research-oriented teaching-learning concepts and science communication.
Doctoral student Konstantin Schmidt will start research activities in Cluster H "Techno-economic Modeling of Hydrogen Value Networks" with SP H4 - H2 and H2-based Fuels in Combustion Engine Applications, in which doctoral student Lauritz Bühler has been integrated with his bridge project (SP H5 (BR 4) - Technological Learning and the Competitiveness of Selected Hydrogen Technologies).
The next new doctoral students will start at the beginning of February. We wish them all a great start and look forward to a successful and exciting time together at the Research Training Group!
