We are excited to welcome Tom Schächtel, who joined the CRC 1333 earlier this year as doctoral researcher in project A04, working with Blazej Grabowski.
Tom is already familiar with the University of Stuttgart, having completed both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in material sciences. During his master’s thesis, he worked with the Grabowski team, contributing to the development of a computational procedure for generating functionalized aluminosilicate pores and validating ab initio-based machine learning potentials for mesoporous aluminosilicates. Both of these areas are directly relevant to project A04.
Within the CRC 1333, Tom will focus his work on the following topics:
- application of the ab initio-based machine learning potentials that were developed in the Grabowski group for mesoporous aluminosilicates
- development of the above-mentioned potentials for further mesoporous metallosilicates
- development of the above-mentioned potentials for modelling confinement in mesoporous metallosilicates
We look forward to working with you, Tom!
