RWTH Aachen has recently informed that will award a Start-up fund of ca. 18 000 € to Dr. Stuckart and myself. The RWTH Start-up funds are awarded to postdoctoral research fellows in all disciplines aiming at independent academic careers. Our proposal, supported by Prof. Dr. Paul Kögerler, has ranked among the 15 most innovative and promising postdoctoral Start-up applications at RWTH Aachen University.
The joint proposal addresses development of a new kind of nanomolecular switches based on polyoxometalates. Dr. Stuckart and myself are looking forward to our first joint publication and to many other exciting project results afterwards.
