Location & approach

By car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, it takes just over 20 minutes to get to Dortmund Central Station by AirportExpress and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

WG Albrecht

M.Sc. Janina Nicolini

I am a doctoral candidate in Professor Dr Albrecht’s group since October 2021 and part of a binational PhD project between the TU Dortmund and the Université Paris-Saclay in cooperation with the Laboratoire de physique des 2 infinis Irène Joliot-Curie (IJCLab).
During my master’s degree in physics, I developed a growing interest in flavour physics and flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNC) in particular. Intrigued by the flavour anomalies and the possibility of studying them with effective field theories, which I did in my bachelor’s project in the top-quark sector, I joined the group of Professor Dr Albrecht for my master thesis research project in April 2020. I started to search for currently unobserved FCNCs in the b-quark sector, especially for one of the rarest b-baryons, the Omega-b.
My current research focus is to successfully carry out these searches and perform a precise measurement of the quantities of the Omega-b baryon. As part of my binational PhD project, I am also involved in the angular analysis of very rare decays of the Lambda-b baryon. These decays involve a lepton pair in the final state, which consists either of two electrons or two muons.
The analysis of both the muon and electron decay modes leads to a new possibility to test lepton flavour universality with angular coefficients. At the same time, combining the results from both channels allows us to evaluate the theoretical predictions of relevant form factors and measure the contribution from charm loops.
I am involved in outreach projects for Professor Dr Albrecht’s group and the LHCb collaboration. This includes the planning and execution of national and international virtual tours of the LHCb experiment, e.g. as part of the last conference of the German physical society.
