Report Thanks to the RUB Research School, I had the opportunity to work with leading scientists Dr. Ian Bell and Dr. Eric Lemmon at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The collaboration with these two scientists has had a decisive influence on my work and has opened up many new perspectives for me. The knowledge I gained in successfully creating a generalized equation of state for different potential functions will have a very positive impact on my future work. On the other hand, I got the opportunity to get to know a foreign culture and the exchange with other international scientists influenced me positively. In addition, my language skills were improved by spending time in an English-speaking country. I am very grateful for the support of the RUB Research School, as this research stay would not have been possible without the financial support.
