Plagiarism and falsification of data by researchers have been in the news repeatedly over recent years. The internet allows knowledge to become a mobile and easily re-packaged good. Even though deliberate academic misconduct is not representative, good scientific practice presents a series of difficult questions, and nagging problems for researchers and accidental breaches can happen.

23. Career Dialogue "Dr. Aurelia Herrmann-Köck und Dr. Thomas Köck"

Career Dialogue
  • Date: Jun 27, 2024
  • Time: 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Dr. Aurelia Herrmann-Köck und Dr. Thomas Köck
  • Dr. Aurelia Herrmann-Köck earned her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from IPP and TUM in 2008, focusing on "Interface optimization of tungsten fiber reinforced copper for heat sink applications." Following her academic achievements, she embarked on a dynamic career journey, starting with roles in the Presidial Office of TUM and representing the Research Field Energy at the Helmholtz Association in Berlin. Later, she brought her expertise to Siemens in Munich, leveraging her background in science management, R&D, and executive consulting to drive innovation. Over a decade within Siemens' Technology department honed her strategic acumen, leading her to her current role as a Strategy Manager in the Siemens Business Unit "Smart Infrastructure." Here, she is shaping the future landscape of smart and sustainable buildings, electrification, and grids. Thomas Köck, Head of Application & Technology Expanded Graphite - After completing his PhD at IPP (TU Munich) in 2007, he moved to SGL Carbon. He started there as a development engineer in the central R&D department. After 5 years, he moved to the technology field of expanded graphite as group leader. Since 2017, he has been responsible for the natural graphite development area with the topics of sealing technology, electronic applications and battery technology (redox flow and fuel cells).
  • Location: Zoom

  • Host: Career Center
  • Contact: careercenter@ipp.mpg.de
For the Career Dialogue we invite people with different backgrounds who will initially tell about themselves, their career or their networks and will then answer your questions and engage in a dialogue with you. The purpose of the Career Dialogue is to provide insight into different career paths, to bring you in contact with people outside IPP and to enhance our networks in all directions - science, industry, entrepreneurship, science management.

Tritium is a natural cosmogenic nuclide and omnipresent in natural waterbodys. However, man made nuclear activities have strongly increased the global inventory. The talk will cover natural and anthropogenic sources, the radioecological modelling of tritium migration in the environment and dose assessment to humans. Tritium will be compared to other radionuclides with respect to peculiarities of uptake and biological half life in the human body. Specific damage to tissue is rather low, due to its limited beta decay energy. This leads to high exemption limits for handling and high specific activities for clearance and discharge during the operation of nuclear facilities. Regulatory limits and dose coefficients as suggested by WHO, IAEA and ICRP as well as German legislation are discussed. Finally, the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima Daichi site will radiologically be set into perspective. [more]
