Luca and Michael are our only twofold national champions. Together with Tobias Kaufmann they became national champions for the most creative project in 2008. They received this award, which is sponsored by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, for fabricating and studying graphene. They also became national champions for the best interdisciplinary project for their work on graphene sensoring in 2010, which also won a 2nd award at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists.
