Financial support of research projects for students
The rector's office of the WWU supports innovative and scientific projects, initiated and carried out by students (including PhDs), with 5000 Euros. It is important that these projects do not overlap with the regular curricular studies. The maximum age is 27. Further information can be found on the web page of the research consulting SAFIR, who will help you with your application.
Who we are
Our group is working in the field of astroparticle physics with the IceCube neutrino telescope and is actively involved in the planning of its successor, IceCube-Gen2. For example, we are developing optical sensors for the application in extreme environments like in the deep ice at the South Pole.
Furthermore, our group participates in the the DFG Research Training Group "Strong and Weak Interactions - from Hadrons to Dark Matter".
Our research is supported by the University of Münster and the DFG, as well as the BMBF.
