Following a week of vacation on Iceland, we visited the 17th International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry in Reykjavik. Each of us contributed a poster, which earned us a lot of fruitful discussions. 

In collaboration with the Knauer group, Alex just published his work on lipofection agents featuring solution- and solid-state emission. Congrats! 

As preparation for ISMSC 2023, we decided to familiarise ourselves with the Icelandic weather. Therefore, we spent a week climbing glaciers, hiking on volcanoes and visiting numerous waterfalls. What a refreshment!

Together with the Giese group, we attended the second Münster Symposium on Intelligent Matter and listened to some exciting and inspiring lectures. 

Justin successfully published his third paper with first authorship. Well done!

Following the Vertiefung in our group, Rick and Lea will write their Master's theses in our group as well. Welcome back!

Felix, who works in the Jansen group as a postdoc, supports our group as part of a synthetic internship. Welcome on board!

Right on time for Christmas, Jan held his defense. Cheers to our doctor!

Yannick joins our group as Marco's first Bachelor's student. Good luck!

Alex and Justin's recent review  on solution and solid-state emitters (SSSE) has been selected for the showcase of the most outstanding review-type articles. Great accomplishment!

Marius is the third former AK Schmuck member to hold his defense under Jens' supervision. Hooray!

Our group spent a recreational weekend in the small town of Werdum by the North Sea. Despite the cold weather, we had lots of fun!

Having finished his dissertation, Jan returns to the Voskuhl group for his postdoctoral studies. It's a pleasure to have him back!

Alex started the supervision of his first Bachelor's student, Benedikt. Welcome to our group, Ben!

Justin and Alex just published two papers, namely a study on the emission of halogenated bridged ethers and a detailed review on solution and solid-state emitters (SSSE). Congratulations to the authors!

Daniel, a former AK Schmuck member, completed his defense and earned his PhD title. Congratulations! 

The 5^th International Symposium on Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE-5) was held in Shenzhen, China. Jens participated online and gave an invited talk about "Shining Light on Transfection".

Our group enjoyed a weekend off in Papenburg in northern Germany. Together with some alumni, we had a great time!

Finn joins the group for a year during his training as a laboratory assistant. He will support and learn from Alex and Marco. Welcome to the AG Voskuhl!

Together with AK Giese, Niemeyer, Haberhauer & Schrader members, our group attended the 6th SupraChem in Mainz. There, Alex was awarded with a poster prize. Congratulations! 

We visited the first Münster Symposium on Intelligent Matter, where Kevin and Marco each presented a poster. Having impressed the jury, we were able to take home a poster prize. Time to celebrate!

Kevin has participated in the publication of two recent papers, one of which features Matthias as first author. Cheers to them!

Having completed her defense, Andrea is the first original Voskuhl group member to receive her PhD title. Congratulations and best wishes for the future!

At the Dies Academicus in Duisburg, Marco received an award for his excellent master's degree. Congratulations!

Shortly after joining the group for her Vertiefung, Lea decided to stay with us for her Master's thesis. We are eager to see the upcoming results!

After completing their master theses in the Voskuhl group, both Alex and Marco returned for their PhD studies. We wish them a good start for their PhDs!

The results of a collaboration between Matthias, Marco and the Epple group have been published in Molecules. Congratulations!
