Why is it worth automatically producing a hundred batteries a day in the lab? How do you manage data efficiently? How do you teach computers chemistry? It’s questions like these that fascinate Helge Stein, a new researcher at the e-conversion Cluster of Excellence. Since mid-2023, the Hamburg native has been contributing his wealth of experience as Professor of Digital Catalysis. The physicist is building a high-tech facility at the Garching research campus of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) to take materials research for the batteries of tomorrow to a new level.
