Prof. Dr. Rainer Adelung leads the chair for functional nanomaterials at Kiel University. He has been professor at the technical faculty since 2007. His research focuses on nanostructures for manifold applications like nanoelectronics and nanomedicine.
Prof. Dr. Thomas Klassen leads the Institute for Material Science of the Helmut-Schmidt-University, as well as the division Materials Technology of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Centre for Materials and Coastal Research GmbH. In cooperation with international partners from research and industry, Professor Klassen investigates nanostructured materials for hydrogen technology and functionalization of surfaces by kinetic spraying. He is co-founder of the spin-off company KSS Kinetic Spray Solutions GmbH.
Kerstin Kuchenbecker has been working in the Technology Policy and Technology Transfer Department of the Ministry of Economics of the State of Schleswig-Holstein since 2020, where her responsibilities include micro- and nanotechnology.
Dr. Wiebke Müller-Lupp has been Managing Director of the Science Center Kiel GmbH since 2019, which is located in the heart of the Kiel Science Park, with its 32 leasing companies and project groups and 450m² of event space. She gained many years of professional experience in business development (WTSH GmbH) in the management of Sea & Sun Technology AG and most recently in the Cluster of Excellence “The Future Ocean” where she was responsible for transdisciplinary ocean research. Her daily work is characterized by acting at the interface between science and industry to promote transfer and initiate and support large collaborative projects.
