Agata Giardina
The research group applied microbiology of Prof. Julia Bandow welcomes M.Sc. Agata Giardina fo the Universitá di Padova from Italy. The intention of the collaboration is to intensify the knowledge about the impact of plasmas on biological systems. This fits perfectly to Agiata Giardina's PhD topic, the effect of new plasma sources on the model enzyme GAP-dehydrogenase. She visits the group for at least four months, from January 1st, 2017 until April 30th, 2017.

Prof. Dr. Felix Spanier
The well-established cooperation in the BMBF project "Astrophysical Processes in the Heliospheric Environment" of PD Dr. Horst Fichtner (Chair of Theoretical Physics IV) with the North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, in South Africa led to a visit of Prof. Dr. Felix Spanier to talk about latest scientific results. He visited RUB from 09 - 16 January 2017.

Dr. Roelf Du Toit und M.Sc. Petrus Johannes Steyn
PD Dr. Horst Fichtner welcomed another visit from South Africa in the framework of the BMBF project "Astrophysical Processes in the Heliospheric Environment". Dr. Roelf Du Toit and M.Sc. Petrus Johannes Steyn came from the North-West University, Campus Potchefstroom, in South Africa from February 16 - 17, 2017.

Dr. Molina
Dr. Ricardo Molina from the Institute of Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC-CSIC) will give the seminar “Plasma polymerization in contact with liquids” on Wednesday, March, 29th, in Bochum. This lecture explores some routes to synthesize polymers in liquid environment by means of dielectric barrier discharges (DBD). The properties of the treated surfaces, e.g. surface energy, are addressed as well.
Since 2009, Dr. Molina works as Tenured Scientist at IQAC-CSIC in Barcelona, Spain. Being an expert in remote plasma treatments and DBD applications, his work is focused on plasma treatment of polymeric materials, plasma sterilization, plasma in liquids (elimination of contaminants in wastewater and polymerization) and plasma in agriculture (plasma activated water, seed germination, etc).
The seminar will take place on 29.03.17 at 10.00 in the lecture room ID 03/445 in the RUB. Please confirm attendance by sending an e-mail to
