Current research topics:   

  • Preparative solid state chemistry
  • functional materials for energy storage and conversion
  • Metal hydrides and intermetallic phases
  • in-situ studies of reaction pathways

  • Neutron Diffraction
 

In the KFN, I would stand up for: 

  • Public relations, especially acceptance in society
  • Dissemination of neutron-based methods in chemistry
  • Promotion of young researchers

  • Networking with stakeholders from other large research institutions, e.g. synchrotron or heavy ion sources
