Five New German-Chinese Research Groups
The long-standing cooperation between the Helmholtz Association and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) now is further strengthened by a new programme. In the context of the "Helmholtz-CAS Joint Research Groups", five new research projects received a recommendation and will receive funding from the CAS and the Helmholtz Association's Initiative and Networking Fund totalling up to 150,000 Euro each per year over a period of three years.
The funded HCJRG are:
Development and application of graphene FET arrays for the study of neuronal networks
Prof. Dr Andreas Offenhäusser, Forschungszentrum Jülich, and Prof. Dr Jianlong Zhao, Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology (SIMIT)
Experiments with stored highly-charged ions at the borderline between nuclear and atomic physics
Yuri A. Litvinov, GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, and Prof. Dr Xinwen Ma, Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou
Zoonotic Streptococci: Comparative studies on molecular mechanisms of host adaption and cross-species infections with Chinese and German isolates - ZOO STREP
Prof. Dr G. Singh Chhatwal, Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, and Prof. Dr George Fu Gao, CAS Key Laboratory of Pathogenic Microbiology and Immunology, Bejing
Space-borne microwave remote sensing for prevention and forensic analysis of natural hazards and extreme events
Prof. Dr Stefan Hinz, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Prof. Dr Doris Dransch, Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, as well as Prof. Yun Kai Deng and Prof. Dr Robert Yu Wang, Institute of Electronics, Bejing
Integrated catalytic technologies for efficient hydrogen production
Roland Dittmeier, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and Andreas Goldbach, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics
