Better ways to store renewable energy

European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grants, worth €1.5 million, define a milestone in a scientist’s career. This year, three young UT researchers are celebrating this achievement. In a triad of stories, they each describe their ‘high risk, high gain’ projects. Part 3: Christoph Baeumer, whose research can provide better understanding of how to store renewable energy more efficiently.

Optical computer to solve complex problems

Solving optimization problems in, for example, parcel deliveries, where packages have to be delivered using the shortest and quickest route, can be a difficult task, even for a computer. Jan Klärs, UT assistant professor in Nanophotonics, is planning to develop a completely new, highly efficient computer that works with light to study and better understand complex optimization problems. The European Research council awarded his research a so-called ‘Consolidator Grant’ of two million euros for five years.
