A warm welcome to our new #Master #student Denny Cheng who is working on #Organic #solar #cells for #deep-space

Second night dinner in #Zwiesel in the #Bavarian #forest during the #teachers #training on #plasma #physics and #fusion - digesting the input from the fantastic #lectures about different startup concepts to realize fusion #reactors as well as cold plasma applications

#Teachers #training famous Lüscher lectures in the #Gymnasium #Zwiesel in the #Bavarian #forest with #lectures to the topic of #plasma #physics and #fusion and hands-on #experiments lecture for the #school kids by Alf Köhn-Seemann, Silke Staehler-Schöpf and Andreas Kratzer

#Teachers #training famous Lüscher lectures in the #Gymnasium #Zwiesel in the #Bavarian #forest having this year topic #plasma #physics and #fusion covering lectures about plasma basics, different concepts of fusion #reactors and cold plasma #applications with speakers from #academia and #startups

First night dinner in #Zwiesel in the #Bavarian #forest during the #teachers #training on #plasma #physics and #fusion - digesting the input from the fantastic #lectures about #basics of plasma physics and #Tokamak, #ITER

Short stop on the travel to #Zwiesel in the #Bavarian #forest to head the #teachers #training on #plasma #physics and #fusion - here passing the famous white #sausage #equator being the 49th parallel and separating historic #Bavaria from the rest of #Germany

Big thank you to Tyler Martin for organizing the #MLXN2026 #conference in #Washington bringing together the #experts in #Machine #Learning for #X‑ray and #Neutron #Science

Finally relaxing with #Margarita #cocktails at the #airport in #Washington and hopefully finally going back #home after all the #flight #cancellations due to the massive #Lufthansa #strike killing all original #travel plans

Great #Asian style #lunch break in #Washington together with Alexander Hexemer from #ALS and his #Berkeley #colleagues

A warm welcome to our new #Master #student Minle Xu who is working on #high-efficiency #next-generation #organic #solar #cells

The German speakers of the #MLXN2026 #conference in #Washington - me with Stephan Roth from #KTH / #DESY and Marina Tropmann-Frick from #HAW

This special issue of #ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces (@ACS_AMI) not only reflects #scientific #excellence but also underscores the diverse #applications of #materials #research being pursued by #Ukrainian #academics

Thank you very much for joining my #talk about #Structure #Formation in Functional Films Revealed by Machine-Learning-Supported Grazing-Incidence Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (#GISAXS) during the #conference on #Machine #Learning for #X‑ray and #Neutron #Science #MLXN2026 in #Washington

Conference #dinner of the #MLXN2026 #conference in a historic restaurant in #Washington bringing together the #experts in #Machine #Learning for #X‑ray and #Neutron #Science digesting all the exciting discussions about #artificial #intelligence, #machine learning and latest #software developments
