Special honor for the young scientist Dr. Montaha Anjass. The 32-year-old is one of eight young scientists from Baden-Württemberg who were awarded the 5,000 euro sponsorship award from the employers’ association Südwestmetall on Wednesday. Anjass received the award for her dissertation at the University of Ulm on the subject of “Experimental and theoretical reactivity studies of molecular metal oxides for energy conversion and storage”.

The doctoral thesis deals with the production of various molecular metal oxides and the investigation of their properties, especially with regard to their suitability as active material in electrochemical storage. The dissertation is based on a remarkable number of six peer-reviewed publications in international specialist journals, which cover a wide range of research from basic electrochemical investigations and stability analyzes to aging behavior in electrochemical laboratory cells or battery cells.

For more than 30 years, Südwestmetall has awarded the sponsorship award to outstanding dissertations by young academics that are particularly important for the industrial world of work and its socio-political framework. The Südwestmetall chairman Dr. Stefan Wolf praised the wide thematic range of this year’s award-winning dissertations. In the direction of the state government, he called for greater support from universities in digitization: “Due to the corona pandemic, the summer semester was offered as a digital semester. The current semester is also expected to be predominantly digital. The experience from this must now be used to make significant progress on the way to a ‘Campus 4.0’. ”

The digitization of university courses and student services, however, is very resource-intensive, noted the employer representative. The state government must therefore provide the universities with even greater financial support, demanded Wolf: “The state has already provided 40 million euros for this. However, this only compensates for the higher education institutions’ need for online courses in the summer semester. For a sustainable digitization of universities, the financial means must be stabilized. Therefore a digital pact with a longer term is necessary here. ”
