We are very excited to share our latest  publication entitled “Green hydrothermal synthesis of fluorescent 2,3-diarylquinoxalines and large-scale computational comparison to existing alternatives”. This work is the result of a great collaboration with Stefan Kubicek’s Lab (CeMM  – Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences) and Jörg Menche’s Lab (Max Perutz Laboratories, University of Vienna).

We just  published the first example of a composite reinforced with crystalline polyimide particles in Materials Advances. The high crystallinity of the polyimide particles was achieved by hydrothermal polymerization. This publication resulted from  a collaboration with Thomas Konneger’s lab and is entitled “High modulus polyimide particle-reinforcement of epoxy composites” . [Read more]

We are very excited to share Miriam’s participation on the 7th Vienna Science Ball 2021 (Wiener Ball der Wissenschaften 2021), which took place as a special Corona edition featuring six scientists, among them Miriam and the Science Busters. The Corona edition was broadcast on TV and can be watched on YouTube [Read more]

We are very happy to share Miriam’s editorial article entitled “Recent advances in hydrothermal materials synthesis“, which accompanies her editor’s choice collection on works on hydrothermal materials synthesis published in either the Journal of Materials Chemistry A or Materials Advances. The collection can be found here. [Read more]

We wish all collaborators, students, and friends of our work the very best for 2021! May the force be with you! [Read more]

Our team won  the “Staatspreis Patent 2020”, the bianually awarded Austrian state award for the best patent, for our work on the synthesis of  highly crystalline high-performance polymers in nothing but ‘hot water’. Our work was selected out of more than 300 candidates. We congratulate the whole team for the joint work! [Read more]

The Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research distinguished Michael (press release by TU Wien) with the state award “Award of Excellence” for his doctoral thesis on new and environmentally friendly synthetic methods towards special high-performance polymers. We congratulate Michael for this amazing recognition! [Read more]

Together with Christoph Bock, Elisa Davoli, Simone Gingrich, Astrid Weiss, and Marie-Therese Wolfram, Miriam co-authored a statement by the Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences on the effects of the pandemic for early career scientists and their careers. Read the full statement here. [Read more]

Our 2-day scientific graphic design workshop for 1st year PhD students of CeMM – Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences took place and was a great success. What a great group of new PhD students! [Read more]

In a cooperation between the popular childrens’ program “Die Monsterfreunde” and TU Wien a pixi book was published in which the protagonists visit the labs of excellent female PIs and discover their science. We are thrilled that Miriam is featured in the book! [Read more]
