For Nele Marie Terveen, a doctoral candidate at the Chair of Corporate Sustainability (TUM School of Management) working for the TUM Venture Labs (Sustainability & Circular Economy), sustainable entrepreneurship emerges as the pathway forward. In the second episode of our Welcome To My Lab series, she articulates how innovation can serve as a catalyst for sustainability, offering solutions to the world's most pressing challenges. She also delves into how her research and the work at the Venture Labs are contributing to this goal. 
 

For Yunfei Zhang, a doctoral candidate, at the Chair of Traffic Engineering and Control, TUM School of Engineering and Design, autonomous vehicles will play an indispensable role in transport transformation. In the 3rd episode of our Welcome To My Lab series, he not only expands on their contribution to a better public transportation system, but also takes us through his experience of founding a start-up in this field, offering a glimpse into the resources and support Munich and TUM have enabled. 

In the 4th episode of our Welcome To My Lab series, Alice Reed, a doctoral candidate at the TUM School of Natural Sciences and the Max Planck Institute for Physics, talks about her study of the recently discovered #HiggsBoson and her scientific work at the world-famous Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN, Geneva. 

In the 5th episode of our Welcome To My Lab series, Leon Chryssos, a doctoral candidate at the TUM School of Natural Sciences who studies material science, walked us through his research and its impact and application in developing advanced alloys and semiconductors. Moreover, as one of the speakers of the TUM Graduate Council, he also talked about his voluntary work and how he and his colleagues there advocate for the interest of all the doctoral candidates at TUM.

In this episode of our Welcome To My Lab series, Renata Mwinome Kuutiero, a doctoral candidate at the Chair of Architecture and Timber Construction, walked us through her research on how timber can serve as a sustainable supplement to and even replacement for concrete, the challenges of its application in Ghana - her home country, and most importantly, how her research can provide valuable perspectives and solutions to them. 

In the 7th episode of our Welcome To My Lab series, Alireza Malekmohammadi, a doctoral candidate at the Institute for Cognitive Systems with a background of electrical engineering, walked us through his research on how the brain processes auditory signals using tools such as EEG, how he connected his current research with his own field, and his experience working with Prof. Dr. Gordon Cheng, a renowned expert in robotic and neuroscience.
