SFB 1313 offered BOGY internship

March 8, 2023 /

The SFB 1313 team offered a porous media internship to a pupil from the Ferdinand Porsche Gymnasium Zuffenhausen for one week in February 2023.

A student from the Ferdinand Porsche Gymnasium Zuffenhausen visited the University of Stuttgart from 13 to 17 February 2022 and completed her one-week BOGY internship within SFB 1313. She got introduced in the world of porous media and got an insight view on how porous media research is conducted within SFB 1313. She conducted experiments on salt precipitation on her own and learnd how to create a computer model on the topic.

In addition to the workshop content, she attended different other events, such as the doctoral thesis defence by former doctoral researcher Farid Mohammadi (D03) on "A Surrogate-Assisted Bayesian Framework for Uncertainty-Aware Validation Benchmarks" on Tuesday. On Wednesay morning, she attended a scientific poster workshop, given by Birgit Lukowski. In the afternoon, she attended the Pretty Porous Science Lecture #32 by Robin Gerlach from the Montana State Univeristy on "Using a combination of experimentation and modeling to develop a novel technology from the laboratory to the commercial scale". On Friday morning, she got a tour through the Porous Media Lab (PML) of the University of Stuttgart.

Many thanks go to Stefanie Kiemle, Laila Heinz, Elissa Eggenweiler, Paula Strohbeck, Maximilian Hörl, Sebastian Smyk, Adyant Agrawal, Matthisas Ruf, Dongwon Lee, and Felix Weinhardt who made the one-week program possible!
