Electrochemical materials and interfaces are present in many energy systems, such as fuel cells, batteries, or water splitting devices. The performance of such devices is strongly related to the materials and interface properties. Therefore, understanding and tuning of these properties are crucial in order to reach highest performance and to supply alternative, sustainable energy solutions … Read more

In this project we explore the fundamental origin of the famous ‘arrow of time’ that distinguishes past from future in our mathematical models of the real world. We will combine the mathematics of partial differential equations, large-deviation theory, and complexity theory to shed some light on this century-old mystery. The consortium Emergence at all Scales … Read more

Peptides, beyond their essential role in biology and life processes, are also of significant importance in academic research and industry as bio-based, biodegradable components with diverse applications, including biomaterials, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Their function in these environments is largely determined by supramolecular interactions, which are complex and challenging to predict, particularly in multicomponent systems. This … Read more

Expenditures on oncology drugs are sharply rising due to the introduction of many new/innovative drugs and high drug prices. There are doubts about whether these treatments and associated costs always benefit patients and healthcare systems. An important question is whether an HTA lifecycle approach could contribute to better decision-making and more controlled and efficient/affordable access … Read more
