Junior staff 2008
Learning from bacteria: the young researcher group “NanoBio” |
|
In 2008, there were six young researcher groups at the FZD, headed by especially qualified young scientists. The NanoBio group (nanoscopic biocompound materials) is the youngest of them, founded on May 1, 2008, at the Institute of Radiochemistry. The group is focused on research and its applications at the interface between bio and nanotechnology. Nanobiotechnology aims at, for instance, making use of the unique properties of biomolecules for the production of nanoscopic structures and devices. | |
The work of the group is centered on applications of self-organizing envelope proteins, so called S-Layer proteins, for fields like catalysis, functional layers and filter materials. A spin-off company using the potential of this research area is planned in the future. |
120 PhD students at the FZD |
|
There are a lot of young faces at the FZD, many of them being PhD students. Their number has continuously increased in the last years to now 120. The FZD holds special offers for its PhD students, for instance an annual seminar for all diploma and PhD students aimed at scientific exchange in a relaxed atmosphere. |

More than 50 trainees |
In addition to its junior scientific staff, the FZD is also committed to its 53 trainees, which are trained in several administrative and technical jobs. The FZD has been regularly awarded by the Dresden Chamber of Industry and Commerce for its excellent training. One of the FZD’s former trainees, Joachim Wagner, a physics technician, was the first one to be honored as Germany’s best trainee in his vocation last year.
The FZD watches out for talented young academics also among high school pupils in Saxony, which is why the FZD coordinates a research competition: every year, physics professors from universities in Saxony select the best research papers in physics by high school pupils from schools in Saxony. |
