DBG Master’s Award 2025 presented to Daniel Schauermann
The German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry (DBG) has awarded the 2025 DBG Master’s Award to Mr. Daniel Schauermann. Each year, the society honors outstanding Master’s theses in the field of physical chemistry completed at German universities. Mr. Schauermann conducted his award-winning research, titled “Model Studies of the Electrode Processes of Organic Redox Flow Batteries using Automated in-situ IR Spectroscopy”, at the Chair of Catalytic Interface Research under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jörg Libuda at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). After completing his Bachelor’s degree at the University of Göttingen, Mr. Schauermann pursued his Master’s studies at FAU. During this time, he gained valuable research experience through stays in the groups of Prof. Alec M. Wodtke (Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Göttingen) and Prof. Marc T. M. Koper (Leiden University, Netherlands). Mr. Schauermann is currently a PhD student in Prof. Libuda’s research group, focusing on in-situ spectroscopic and microscopic investigations of electrochemical model systems.
