MCI is working with MedAustron to further develop ion therapy for the healing of tumors. !-- MedAustron is a particle therapy and research center for cancer treatment located in Wiener Neustadt. The therapy is based on the use of protons and carbon ions, which are accelerated to the required energy to irradiate the total volume of the tumors with great accuracy and to better protect the surrounding tissue at the same time. To achieve the best possible results, state-of-the-art technology from the fields of physics, mechatronics, electronics and power electronics is used.In the future, MCI's Mechatronics Department will collaborate with MedAustron to develop new technologies and improve the performance of existing and new facilities. In addition, students have the opportunity to complete internships at MedAustron and to work on various theses in the company. Subsequently, the cooperation will be deepened and additional research projects will be allocated.For further information please contact us:Maurizio Incurvati Senior Lecturer Department Mechatronics +43 512 2070 – 3936 maurizio.incurvati@mci.eduMCI Lecturers Incurvati and Stärz (2nd and 3rd from the left) meet with MedAustron.

New research project in the field of process technology !-- On April 1, a new research project started at MCI. Researchers, under supervision of project leader Michael Meister, investigate and optimize the energy input required for mixing anaerobic digestion towers. The research results should serve as a basis for further research projects, as well as bringing direct benefits for wastewater treatment plant operators due to reduced energy consumption. The research project is jointly run with the University of Innsbruck and funded by the Federal Ministry for Sustainability and Tourism.If you are interested in the research findings, please contact us:Michael Meister Lecturer Department Environmental, Process & Energy Engineering +43 512 2070 – 3238 Michael.meister@mci.eduFoto: MCIFederal Miistry Republic of Austria - Sustainability and Tourismhier können Videos eingespielt werden. endsearch-->

Research project for the extraction of natural raw materials from algae !-- In the research area Food Science & Biotechnology project manager Harald Schöbel was able to land a new research project. The aim of this project is the extraction of natural raw materials from alpine algae, which absorb the UV radiation of the sun very efficiently. These substances can be used as additional components for various cosmetic products to significantly improve their sun protection factor. The project is made possible by the Tiroler Wissenschaftsförderung (TWF).For further information please contact us:Harald Schöbel Senior Lecturer Department Biotechnology +43 512 2070 – 3837 harald.schoebel@mci.eduFoto: MCI Soziale Arbeithier können Videos eingespielt werden. endsearch-->
