Göttingen 2015

Microsymposium „Young Crystallographers Lightning Session“
and Get-Together of the „Young Crystallographers“
at the 23rd Annual Conference of the German Crystallographic Society

Chairs: Julia Dshemuchadse (Ann Arbor, MI, US), Oliver Pecher (Cambridge, UK)

Monday March 16th – Thursday 19th 2015
@ Georg-August-University Göttingen

From nearly 60 submissions, 22 abstracts of young scientists were selected for 5-minute presentations during a lightning talk session and a subsequent poster session.
STOE sponsored three prizes that were awarded by a committee of three experienced scientists to:

Christina Drathen, ESRF Grenoble
Erik Thelander, Leibniz Institute of Surface Modification Leipzig
Marie-Theres Vielberg, Technische Universität München

The winning posters:

Symmetry-mode analysis of the superstructure of KMnCrF₆, Christina Drathen

Epitaxial growth of pulsed laser deposited Ge-Sb-Te thin films on (111) oriented substrates, Erik Thelander

Crystallographic analysis of the ClpP1/2 heterocomplex from Listeria monocytogenes, Marie-Theres Vielberg
