Berlin’s best apprentice for precision mechanic comes from the HZB
Milena Meschenmoser completed the best apprenticeship of her year. After finishing her training as a precision mechanic, she now has new plans.
Milena Meschenmoser completed her apprenticeship as a precision mechanic as the best in Berlin. From 2014 to 2018, she completed the practical part of her training at the HZB workshop in Wannsee.
Milena Meschenmoser attributes her success to the very good support and the well-organized training process at the HZB: "During the apprenticeship we actually only dealt with exam-relevant tasks and were given a lot of time to prepare for the exam. We were allowed to work independently and assume responsibility right from the start of our training. My trainer, Christian Remus, was always available to answer questions and helped me out".
After successfully completing her training in February 2018, Milena Meschenmoser continued working at HZB for six months. For about one and a half years she has been involved in the youth and training representation (JAV) of HZB. From autumn 2018, she will be studying metal technology and politics as a teacher at Technische Universität Berlin and Freie Universität Berlin.

A way around that isn't: Berlin's best precision mechanic wants to become a vocational school teacher
- Georg Forster Research Fellow explores photocatalystsDr. Moses Alfred Oladele is working on photocatalysis for CO2 conversion in a joint project with the group of Dr. Matt Mayer, HZB, and Prof. Andreas Taubert at the University of Potsdam. The chemist from Redeemer's University in Ede, Nigeria, came to Berlin in the summer of 2024 with a Georg Forster Research Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and will work at HZB for two years.
- Perovskite solar cells: New Young Investigator Group funded by BMBF at HZBIn the COMET-PV project, Dr Artem Musiienko aims to significantly accelerate the development of perovskite solar cells. He is using robotics and AI to analyse the many variations in the material composition of tin-based perovskites. The physicist will set up a Young Investigator Group at HZB. He will also have an affiliation with Humboldt University in Berlin, where he will gain teaching experience in preparation for a future professorship.
- Dr. Michelle Browne receives Daimler and Benz Foundation FellowshipMichelle Browne heads a Helmholtz Young Investigators Group on electrocatalysis at HZB. She has now been selected as a fellow of the Daimler and Benz Foundation. She will receive 40,000 euros over the next two years and, in addition, access to an excellent research network.
