We offer a deep immersion in modern materials designing for sustainable energy technologies; the candidate will learn and live the translational perspective of designing bio- and nano-hybrid materials for sustainable energy-related applications every day. The validation of the design will also be carried out in the chair by experimental members.

TUM offers a wide variety of inspiring and challenging Ph.D. programs, which will supplement the research training with outstanding opportunities for career development, continued education, and life-long learning.

Situated on the Bavarian forest gate, Straubing, the old ducal town on the Danube, is the intellectual hub for renewable raw materials and technologies for sustainability in Germany. Straubing, although small in the number of inhabitants, offers everything you need for a successful Ph.D., including a diverse selection of taverns, cafés, and beer gardens.
