Since last year I want to be part of the iGEM-team, now in the 4th semester I have time for this challenge. I am responsible for the sponsoring of our team. I hope this projekt gives me the chance to learn new laborpractice and improve my softskills. iGEM gives me the opportunity to see the activity of synthetic biologie, because I want to write my bachelor thesis in this field of science. I am very greatful to be a part of this awesome team.

Hi! My name is Sven Jager, I am a Biomolecular Engineer in the second year (M.Sc). Why iGEM? IGEM is the chance to solve a global problem with methods of the synthetic biology. I am looking forward to meet young scientists from all over the world and make many new experiences. In our team, I supported the lab work as well as the wiki construction.

I was asked to support the current iGEM-Team. In particular, the interdisciplinary direction and the fascinating possibilities that these technologies offer, appeal to me. This allows me to apply my acquired skills within this pratice oriented project and gain a number of new experiences. In my current studies I concentrate on the field of IT Security. Since I develop an Android interface and cooperate closely with the area of electrical engineering, this project unfortunatly does not offer any connections to my area of expertise.

This summer I completed my B.Sc. in Bimolecular Engineering at the TUD. I take responsibility for website and the lab management during our project. I expects an interesting summer. Moreover, he hopes to learn many new things about synthetic biology. Besides a successful participation Sascha wants to establish many international contacts. --- [[File:Carmen.jpg|left|frameless|80px]] === '''Carmen Klein''' === ''' Age: 23 ''' ''' Studies: M. Sc. Biomolecular Engineering ''' I watched with interest the progression of last year’s TU Darmstadt iGEM-Team but could not participate due to time reasons. This year I would not want to miss working in the project since I want to apply and extend my experience in scientific research. In the course of my previous studies, I mainly specialized in research with mammalian cells but see great importance in having a deep insight in other and novel fields such as the manipulation of bacteria and the transfer to a engineering approach. Most of all, I am glad about how our student team works together in spite of having diverse knowledge in both different fields and different levels. We complement and bring forward one another and I am looking forward to coming across new experiences as well as challenges which make me also curious about how we are going to master them. ---- [[File:Picture-Dicky Law.jpg|left|frameless|80px]] === '''CheukTing Law, Dicky''' === '''Age: 21''' '''Studies: B. Sc. Molecular Biomedical Sciences''' Hi! I am Dicky, 21years old and studying my bachelor of Molecular Biomedical Sciences in The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I had exchanged to Germany and started my unforgettable life in Technische Universität Darmstadt (TUD) for half a year. The turning point during my exchange in Germany is joining iGEM in TUD. I joined the early stage of iGEM team in Hong Kong, so I know the difference of doing science between Hong Kong and Germany. My team was really having a fun time, enjoy the process and real life but not just focus on Lab work of iGEM. iGEM is a bridge that connects the people from the world. No matter where do we come from, we still can communicate with each other because we have the same language: Science. ---- [[File:TLotz cut.PNG|left|frameless|80px]] === '''Thea Lotz''' === '''Age: 24''' '''Studies: M. Sc. Biomolecular Engineering''' Why did I join the TU Darmstadt iGEM team? There are great people on the team, we’ve got an interesting topic, so no reason not to join in. I also liked the opportunity of finally doing my own research and working without only the prospect of good grades. iGEM is a true challenge where lots of interesting fields of work collide and you can learn while having fun. I’m really looking forward to when we can get started! ---- [[File:Passbild.jpg|left|frameless|80px]] === '''Laurin Monnheimer''' === '''Age: 23''' '''Studies: B. Sc. Biology''' In the first place, I learned about iGEM more or less coincidently but I soon figured out that this is a project I definitely want to be part of. The contest offers the unique opportunity to carry out research in a practically oriented manner and to meet scientific challenges as a team. Therefore, iGEM presents an outstanding occasion to gain new valuable experiences and to further develop my personal and scientific skills. I hope that we as a project team will be successful in finding solid solutions to the problems we will be confronted with and I am highly motivated to make my personal contribution to iGEM. ---- [[File:Foto - Max Polzin.jpg|left|frameless|80px]] === '''Max Polzin''' === '''Age: 23''' '''Studies: B. Sc. Elektro- und Informationstechnik''' Some friends of mine asked me if I wanted to join them and participate at this years iGEM-team of the TU Darmstadt. I really like working in a team and especially independently finding a solution to a challenging problem is a great task. The interdisciplinary composition of our team offers me the opportunity to use my skills I already learnd during my studies at the university and to gain further knowledge in a broad scientific field. Currently I am studying in the senior semester of my Bachelor degree, my specialisation is commmunications engineering. In this year's iGEM-project I am responsible for the electrical engineering part. Mainly this means I have to construct a cheap and reliable sensor to detect fluorescence. Furthermore I have to find a secure way for the data transmission between our developed device and a modern cellular phone. ---- [[File:ManuFoto.jpg|left|frameless|80px]] === '''Manuel Rebenich''' === '''Age: 26''' '''Studies: Industrial Design''' Hey guys... My name is Manuel and i'm studying my diploma in industrialdesign/Productdesign at the "h-da" University Darmstadt. Privatly I spend a lot of time in doing different art disciplines. I joined this year's iGEM-team because I like to get involved in an exciting project and to get contact to different facultys. In the iGEM-project I'm responsible to give the hole project a smart visual character. I design Flyers, Posters and do a lot of graphic design in general. Additionally, I made designs for the shirts, Homepage and an early prototype of the device. ---- [[File:SvenR Web.jpg|left|frameless|80px]] === '''Sven Rumpf''' === '''Age: 23''' '''Studies: Chemistry''' I am studying Chemistry at the TU Darmstadt but I am also interested in molecular life sciences. Hence, I participate in iGEM to get a chance in working at a complex project with other students. I am pleased working with our team and learning from others. ---- [[File:IMG 1670 CSator.jpg|left|frameless|80px]] === '''Christian Sator''' === I am studying Biomolecular Engineering at TU Darmstadt. I joined this year’s iGEM-team because I like the idea of tackling a complex issue together with a team and work out solutions for it. I think iGEM is a great opportunity to experience independent and interdisciplinary research and to broaden one’s mind. I’m looking forward to learn new stuff and meet lots of interesting people. ---- [[File:Anne Schieferdecker (1).JPG|left|frameless|80px]] === '''Anne Schieferdecker''' === Hey, my name is Anne and I am a student of the bachelor program Biomolecular Engineering at the TU Darmstadt. When I first heard about the 2012's iGEM project of our University, it was already too late to enter, but I knew that I will not miss the next project! The possibility to actively shape all aspects of a research project from conception through laboratory work and final presentation, is my primary motivation to participate. I also love challenges and look forward to every pebble along our way and the creative search for solutions by our fortunately heterogeneous team. Privately, I not only hope for fun and accumulating knowledge but also to develop in person. ---- [[File:Foto johanna.JPG|left|frameless|80px]] === '''Johanna Tüshaus''' === '''Age: 23''' '''Studies: M. Sc. Biomolecular Engineering''' During my studies abroad at the KTH in Stockholm I came to know iGEM for the first time. From the beginning the idea of the competition inspired me and encouraged me to join this year's iGEM-team of TU Darmstadt. I am looking forward to the tasks and challenges we are going to deal with during this intense period of time. I think all the members of the team are able to learn from each user and everyone can profit due to the interdisciplinary setting of our team. ---- [[File:Bild, Bastian Wagner.jpg|left|frameless|80px]] === '''Bastian Wagner''' === '''Studies: B. Sc. Biomolecular Engineering''' Hi, my name is Bastian Wagner and I am a student of the bachelor program Biomolecular Engineering at the TU Darmstadt. The reason why I participate in iGEM is, because I like to design and construct new biological systems for useful purposes and create societal acceptance for this new technology. ---- [[File:Profilbild Arne Wehling.png|left|frameless|80px]] === '''Arne Wehling''' === Hey Guys, my name is Arne! Currently I am finishing my B.Sc. in Biomolecular Engineering at the TU Darmstadt. With some friends I already started our university's first iGEM Team in 2012. Hence, I hope that our experiences will help us to get this year's competition done even better than before. I am in charge of oraganization and team management so I am some kind of a maid-of-all-work, if you want to put it like that. I think that our team for 2013 is just great and fortunately we are quite interdisciplinaric, so I hope we learn a lot from each other and be successful during the following months full of working!
