Benedikt Winhard, student of the Graduate Elite Program “Advanced Materials and Processes” deepened his research into secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) during his studies. His supervisor Dr. Ing. Manuela Killian recommended participation in the conference "SIMS Europe 2018" in Münster. At this occasion, he also presented a scientific poster on his first research work.
Benedikt Winhard, a student of the Elite Graduate Program "Advanced Materials and Processes", participated in the SIMS Europe 2018 conference in Münster. He received great insights into state-of-the-art research involving the application and ongoing development of different techniques in the field of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), primarily time-of-flight SIMS (ToF-SIMS).
The conference "SIMS Europe 2018" lasted three days: On the first day the basics of SIMS instruments, the operation and data analysis in courses were taught. Scientists who do not use these analysis tools on a regular basis could learn or refresh the necessary basics. On the second and third day, research groups presented their latest results in various sessions. A poster presentation on the evening of the second day provided an opportunity to present and discuss results in more detail.
By taking part in the poster presentation, Benedikt Winhard was able to show parts of his research that he conducted in the context of his miniproject, which was supervised by Dr. Manuela Killian. He also introduced the latest results achieved within this project using ToF-SIMS analysis. Additionally, the conference served as perfect preparation for his master thesis: the members of his future team at NESAC/Bio presented the latest findings in this area. Last but not least, Benedict Winhard also gained important impetus for his further research.
