Amar receives DAAD Prize of FSU Jena 2026

Our former Master’s student, Amar Diab, was awarded this year’s “DAAD Prize for outstanding academic achievements and intercultural commitment of international students”. In addition to the excellent Master’s thesis he conducted as part of our group, he was active as a Welcome Buddy, served on the Welcome Café team, and is involved in various projects with the community foundation and neighborhood assistance initiatives. This combination of academic and community contributions convinced the jury. We are very proud of you and offer our heartfelt congratulations, dear Amar!

Poster Award for Lingli

Once again this conference season, the Oschatz Research Group was on the road with presentations and posters. We had “home games” at the GDCh Conference on Inorganic Chemistry and the Organic Battery Days, both of which took place in Jena. Lingli achieved a special success: she won a poster award for her presentation at the Inorganic Chemistry Conference. Congratulations, Lingli!

A new Dr. rer. nat.

Yesterday, Sri Rezeki successfully defended her doctoral thesis, entitled “Ionic Functionalization of Ultra-Microporous Carbon Materials for Atmospheric Water Harvesting.”Over the past four years, Sri has investigated the ionic functionalization of carbon materials and their water uptake and release properties, supported by a self-funded Indonesian educational scholarship. Afterwards, Sri treated the group to delicious Indonesian specialties and, following the tradition in Jena, threw her doctoral wreath onto the HanFried statue. Congratulations, Sri — our Dr. Sunshine!

Research Overview

Porous Materials and Interfacial Phenomena

We develop novel and innovative approaches towards the synthesis of nano-structured carbon materials displaying both, a defined pore structure as well as chemical composition. Such model materials serve to fundamentally understand interfacial phenomena as they occur in energy and environment-related applications.
