Henrik van Impel‘s outstanding Bachelor thesis
Congratulations to Henrik van Impel, who won the student award of Ruhr University Bochum with his bachelor thesis "Diagnostics of atomic oxygen in a micro-cavity plasma reactor". He received his certificate during the yearly celebration of the University hosted by the Rector of the University.
In his bachelor thesis, Mr. van Impel used actinometry to investigate the formation of atomic oxygen in a plasma array reactor. With his finding, he made an important contribution to project A6 in CRC 1316.
- You can find further information on the work and publications within project A6 on its project page.

Academic anniversary and lecturer of the year
On Friday, 21.10.2022, the Chair and the EP2 working group had the honor of hosting the Academic Graduation Ceremony of the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy. All graduates with degrees from the summer semester 2021 and the winter semester 21/22 were celebrated. Maike Kai and Philipp Maaß moderated the event.
In addition to a presentation of research on low-temperature plasmas and short experiments, the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation Dissertation Prize was awarded to Dr. Katharina Laake and the Student Council Prize for the Lecturer of the Year 2021 was awarded to Junior Professor Judith Golda.
Many thanks to everyone who participated and made the day a great experience and congratulations to all graduates!

Gordon research conference
From July 23rd to July 29th the Gordon Research Conference and Seminar on Plasma Processing and Science was held in Andover, New Hampshire. The conference focused on plasmas and their interactions with matter while the seminar focused on investigating multiphase and multiscale plasma-material interactions. Judith Golda from the CRC 1316 had a talk on "State enhanced actinometry in atmospheric pressure discharges". Furthermore, she organised the so-called "Power Hour" at the GRC - an event to raise awareness of the challenges in the field of
