I spent two months as a visitor research student within the Department of Chemical Engineering and Loughborough University. This stay took place in the framework of my Master’s dissertation, which I am currently doing at my home University in Karlsruhe, Germany (KIT). My stay was financially supported by PROMOS scholarship of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

During my time here, I had access to modern laboratories, great scientific exchange with staff and students and a convenient working environment. I found that Loughborough university was a great environment for advancing with my research and my dissertation.

I learnt a lot about international and intercultural exchange and the scientific landscape in the UK. This meant I could develop my important personal skills. To sum up, my placement was a huge success in a professional and personal matter.
