Current research topics:        

  • Structure and dynamics of liquid and ligand molecules on nanoparticle surfaces
  •  In-situ / operando experiments on nanoparticle formation, crystallisation and catalysis
  • Nanoparticle-carrier material interactions in heterogeneous catalysis

  • X-ray/neutron PDF, powder diffraction, QENS, SAXS/SANS
 

In the KFN, I would stand up for:

  1. I want to strengthen the public perception of the importance of research with neutrons to solve central scientific questions. It requires general acceptance and perception of the importance to not only maintain but also strengthen the research infrastructure in the long run. This concerns mainly German and European sources, which are essential for research at German universities.

  2. Early enthusiasm of students for research with neutrons at large research facilities, see e.g. my involvement in the organisation of the Travelling Seminar (www.travellingseminar.uni-bayreuth.de) as an international summer school project

  3. Complementarity of neutron and synchrotron methods
