Congratulations to Baris on successfully defending his PhD thesis this week on “Optoelectronic properties of dipolar merocyanines on highly ordered surfaces”. TIDE is proud of this achievement and wishes him all the best for his future career. #ProudPI #PhDone

Some of our TIDE members took part in the stage 16 of cycling #TourDeFrance– #MontVentoux July 2025, and rode up the famous Mont Ventoux. It was a tough climb and an amazing experience! #MontVentoux #Cycling #Researcher

Soyoung attended #ICOE2025 in Coimbra, Portugal and presented her poster on microcavity #OLEDs and took part in discussions on organic electronics. She connected with researchers and students from across Europe, truly an inspiring experience! #organicelectronics #solarcells #research #science

Hanan presented her poster “Encapsulation of Graphene Nanoribbons in Hexagonal #BoronNitride using Dry-transfer Method” at Graphene Conference 2025 in San Sebastian. She attended various scientific sessions and found the experience valuable for both knowledge exchange and networking. #phd #physics

Prof. Marek Nowicki (University of Wrocław) and Prof. Hans-Achim Wagenknecht (kit.edu‬) gave talks on Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Nucleic Acid Chemistry with Light, respectively. Each event was followed by a dinner with the [email protected]l @unibonn.bsky.social

Fantastic news: @dfg.de has just approved the second funding period for our research training group TIDE! We are honored and very happily looking forward to further 4.5 years of collaborative PhD journeys at @unicologne.bsky.social and @unibonn.bsky.social! Further info: uni-koeln.de/en/universit...

Prof. Maxim Pshenitchnikov from @zernike-institute.bsky.social gave an inspiring tutorial and a talk on capturing #supramolecular #self-assembly in real time for the TIDE group. We are greatful for the insight and the company at a nice dinner with the team. #nanostructure #femtosecond #research

To promote our female #PhDstudents, TIDE has a Woman@Science program. At our last event, three female scientists presented their different career paths, followed by discussions in small groups which provided the opportunity to network and ask questions. #WomanInScience #womeninSTEM #RoleModel

Philipp defended his #PhDthesis on "Uniaxial Alignment of #OrganicSemiconductors by Armchair #Graphene #Nanoribbon Templating". As you can see from the traditional hat self-made by his research group, he was successful. Congratulations! #ProudPI #PhDone

New research article by the groups of Prof. Meerholz and Prof. Lindfors published in Organic Chemistry Frontiers ( #OpenAccess). Congratulations! #organic #electronics #optics #research

Julia from @grimmelab.bsky.social successfully defended her #PhDthesis this week. Congratulations! Julia worked on the "Development of #QuantumChemistry based Workflows for the Theoretical Description of #OrganicElectronics". #ProudPI #PhDone

How can photoelectron spectroscopy help us understand how molecules grow and interact with metal surfaces? Our latest publication explores the behavior of dipolar merocyanine molecules on metals, revealing insights into charge transfer, molecular orientation, and film growth. #OrganicSemiconductors

Hello Bluesky! We are the TIDE group, a research training group working on template-designed #organicelectronics at #UniCologne and #UniBonn, funded by @dfgpublic.bsky.social. Follow us for news about our #research, our graduation program and events! ⠀ #phd #phdsky #sciencesky #chemistry #physics
