New TUHH I3-Junior-Project

M. Sc. Preethi Aranala Gurumoorthi from our institute and M. Sc. Sri Sannihita Chavali from the Institute of Technical Microbiology have been selected for TUHH I³-Junior-Project funding to realize their project idea titled "Towards a microfluidic platform for rapid screening of fabrication methods for soft-matter-derived solids".
This funding will be used to develop an optimal microfluidic platform for studying various steps in fabrication methods for gels. Further this research will explore conductive nanoparticle-incorporated hydrogels to improve electron transfer and biofilm growth in bio-electrochemical systems which addresses electrode surface area limitations by taking advantage of the porous network of the gels.
This project expands the research capabilities at TUHH and also supports the UNUHUB Initiative on “Engineering to Face Climate Change” by promoting sustainable material fabrication.
