Academic anniversary and lecturer of the year
On Friday, 21.10.2022, the Chair and the EP2 working group had the honor of hosting the Academic Graduation Ceremony of the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy. All graduates with degrees from the summer semester 2021 and the winter semester 21/22 were celebrated. Maike Kai and Philipp Maaß moderated the event.
In addition to a presentation of research on low-temperature plasmas and short experiments, the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation Dissertation Prize was awarded to Dr. Katharina Laake and the Student Council Prize for the Lecturer of the Year 2021 was awarded to Junior Professor Judith Golda.
Many thanks to everyone who participated and made the day a great experience and congratulations to all graduates!

Research stay at GREMI laboratory
From 14 November to 19 November, Jun.-Prof. Judith Golda and Dr. Sebastian Burhenn visited the laboratory of Prof. Claire Douat at the GREMI in Orléans for a joint research campaign. This time, the work was focused on the measurement of plasma-produced carbon monoxide affecting human hemoglobin. The trip was funded by a DAAD PROCOPE project to improve cooperation between RUB and GREMI.

CRC 1316 members joining the International Plasma School
A large group of ten people from the SFB 1316 consortium participated in the 25th International School on Low-Temperature Plasma Physics. To deepen their knowledge of plasma science and technology, the PhD students from Bochum and Ulm attended the plasma school for one week. In addition to lectures, the school's program also included workshops and poster sessions.

Gordon research conference
From July 23rd to July 29th the Gordon Research Conference and Seminar on Plasma Processing and Science was held in Andover, New Hampshire. The conference focused on plasmas and their interactions with matter while the seminar focused on investigating multiphase and multiscale plasma-material interactions. Judith Golda from the CRC 1316 had a talk on "State enhanced actinometry in atmospheric pressure discharges". Furthermore, she organised the so-called "Power Hour" at the GRC - an event to raise awareness of the challenges in the field of

Research stay at GREMI laboratory
From 18 July to 29 July, Jun.-Prof. Judith Golda, Dr. Laura Chauvet, and Daniel Henze were guests in the laboratory of Prof. Claire Douat at the GREMI in Orléans. In a joint measurement campaign, two different atmospheric pressure plasma jets were tested. They measured the production of CO at different operating conditions with a gas analyzer. This trip was funded by the DAAD as part of a PROCOPE project to improve cooperation between RUB and GREMI.

Company outing Chair and working group 2022
Today we went on the Ruhr together with the Chair of Experimental Physics II: we paddled from Lindenau towards Hattingen in two inflatable boats. We then took the streetcar back to the university to round off the day with a small barbecue.

ICOPS conference in Seattle
The 49th International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS) was held in Seattle from May 22 through May 26. It was one of the first conferences since the beginning of the COVID pandemic situation that was organized as a hybrid conference and partly held on site. It was nice to be back at a live conference getting in touch face to face with other researchers. More than 350 on site attendees visited the conference and more than 150 researchers joined the conference virtually. The conference venue was the Sheraton Grand Seattle located in Seattle Downtown. The scientific program reached out to wide varieties in the field of plasma physics covering topics such as basic phenomena in high temperature fusion plasmas or low temperature plasma jets up to the applications of different sources as for example in medicine, agriculture or for environmental purposes.
Beside the scientific program there were lots of things to discover around the area such as strolling at the famous Pike Place Market or going up the Space Needle to get a great view over the city and the 4392m high volcano Mount Rainier, if it does not hide itself in dense clouds. During the conference a spontaneous group event took place, exploring the night life of Seattle together with around 30 other researchers and the conference was eventually closed with a nice banquet.
