Sara Li Deuso completed her Master of Science degree in Chemistry at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg in 2022. During her Master’s studies in the group of Prof. Mandel she focused on the synthesis of code-carrying magnetic supraparticles, aiming to utilize them for marking battery materials.

Continuing with her research in the Supraparticle Group she started her PhD thesis in 2022, focusing on particulate markers whose magnetic signal is read out using a sensitive and fast measuring technique – magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS).

Andreas Zink graduated from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg in 2022 with a Master of Science degree in chemistry. During his master studies he focused on monitoring the changes of the magnetic behavior of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) via magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS). Besides his studies he gained various experience in organic and inorganic chemistry as a research assistant.

In his PhD thesis he focuses on the assembly of organic and inorganic building blocks to supraparticles.

Laura Bittel graduated from Friedrich Alexander University with a Master of Science degree in Chemical and Bioengineering in May 2021. During her bachelor’s degree in process and environmental engineering at Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, she completed internships at adidas AG and Deutsche ACCUmotive GmbH & Co. KG. She performed her bachelor’s thesis at Daimler AG in battery research with a focus on life cycle simulation.

After she finished her Master’s thesis at the Fraunhofer Institute in Würzburg in the group of Prof. Dr. Mandel, she started her PhD within the group. Her research focuses on multicomponent catalytic supraparticles.

Andreas Wolf graduated from the Julius Maximilian University Wuerzburg in 2020 with a Master of Science degree in Functional Materials. Experiences in industry and abroad include one year at the University of New Mexico (2016-2017) as well as internships at the BMW Group (2018-2019, department for adhesives) and the Norwegian Institute for Energy Technology (2020, silicon anodes). He has been a research assistant at the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research since 2014 and contributed to different projects in the field of lithium-ion batteries and particle technologies.

In his PhD thesis he focuses on interactive magnetic supraparticles in dynamic fluidic environments and their application as smart sensors in water purification and battery recycling processes. A key to his research is the innovative use of magnetic particle spectroscopy for live-analysis of magnetic nanoparticle relaxation phenomena.

Huanhuan Zhou obtained her master’s degree from National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2020. During her master studies, her research activities focused on understanding and modeling electrochemical processes and using that knowledge for the development of high-performance energy storage devices. These research efforts cover from nanomaterials design to charge/discharge simulation.

Huanhuan joined the Suprapaticle Group as a PhD candidate in 10/2020. Her research focuses on design of interactive supraparticles.
