In July 2024, Maximilian Staudacher from the Chair of Structural and Functional Ceramics received the JECS-Trust Mobility Grant, which is funded by the Journal of the European Ceramic Society. This grant enables a select number of early-stage researchers in the field of technical ceramics to visit notable research institutions for several months. Maximilian Staudacher will use this funding to stay at the Fraunhofer IKTS in Dresden, Germany. There, he will investigate the extent and origin of processing defects in ceramic materials fabricated through several additive manufacturing methods and work on developing novel strength testing methods for such materials.
