Performance-oriented funding of academic mid-level positions for research groups at universities of applied sciences in Baden-Württemberg (Prof. Niessner, January 1, 2023 - December 31, 2025), MWK Baden-Württemberg

Realization of biointelligent systems that enable customization at the hardware level. For this purpose, biological components should be integrated. The biological component forms mycelium, thread-like cells of a fungus. Mycelium is inserted into a 3D printed ceramic framework.
Environmental pollution with microplastic particles is increasing globally. Microplastics in soil are mainly caused by tire wear, while microplastics in water are mainly caused by the washing of synthetic textiles such as fleece and functional clothing. This is where Mikro-nix comes in, researching and developing technologies using computation fluid dynamics simulation to capture harmful particles.
