The Institute for Circular Economy of Bio:Polymers (ibp) at Hof University of Applied Sciences offers excellent conditions for a doctorate in an interdisciplinary and innovative research environment. Those wishing to obtain their doctorate benefit from individual supervision, state-of-the-art infrastructure and first-class opportunities for international networking.
“Doctoral students at ibp are given a variety of starting points for their scientific questions, and we also promote scientific exchange through regular colloquia, workshops and conferences,” explains Institute Director Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Michael Nase. The close integration of research and practice creates valuable synergies for the doctorate.
Joint seminar with Merseburg University of Applied Sciences
A recent example of the successful collaboration is a joint seminar with Merseburg University of Applied Sciences. The focus was on the research of doctoral candidate Isabell Kleiber, who is investigating the influence of natural plasticizers and reinforcing materials in bioplastics and their effects on fracture mechanical properties.
“My doctorate and my job here at Hof University of Applied Sciences are a great combination. This flexibility and the strong scientific support make the ibp an ideal place for prospective doctoral students like me.”
