UniCat Professor Reinhard Schomäcker has again secured two new scholarships from the IPODI program.
Prof. Reinhard Schomäcker
Dr. Ewa Nowicka will work on OCM catalysts together with the Schomäcker group and Prof. Hajo Freund at the FHI.
Dr. Zeynep Altintas will research in the area of imprinted polymers in cooperation with the UniCat groups of Maria Mroginski, Frieder Scheller, Peter Hildebrandt, and Prof. Reinhard Schomäcker. These polymers can potentially be used as sensors for biomarkers.
“We are attractive for young female researchers with research interests in the area of catalysis,” says Reinhard Schomäcker. “We have the equipment, the know-how and – thanks to IPODI – we are also able to especially promote female researchers”. Professor Schomäcker works in the area of Chemical Engineering, which bridges applied basic research and applied industrial research.
IPODI is the International Post-Doc Initiative of the Berlin University of Technology; a third party funding project within the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. IPODI is part of an initiative (“Wissenschaftlerinnen an die Spitze”) that aims to increase the number of women in leadership positions.
