Adaptive optics (AO) is used in large telescopes to compensate for disturbances in the atmosphere as well as vibrations of the telescope’s optical components. With the increasing dimensions of telescopes, up to 42m for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), the dimensions of the AO systems are increasing such that the computational complexity of the [...]
This PhD project aims at developing mechanistic (and also empirical) process models for innovative pharmaceutical production processes (e.g., continuous processing, hot-melt extrusion, freeze-drying,…), and to exploit those models in the development of advanced process control systems. The research will be conducted in close cooperation with pharmaceutical companies. Research results will be published in important scientific [...]
Our lab studies molecular virology of HIV infection and AIDS. Using transcriptome and whole-genome RNA interference analysis, we identified several cellular co-factors of the HIV nef gene. Current studies aim to validate these and to understand the role of Nef in the viral life cycle and pathogenicity. Techniques used are flow cytometry, virus culture, cloning, [...]
The Research Training Group (RTG 1644) on Scaling Problems in Statistics, funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG), seeks applicants for 2 PhD positions in price transmission processes, starting October 1, 2010. Two sub-projects will study the influence of scale on the measurement of vertical and spatial price transmission processes for agricultural and food products. [...]
