Research

Summary

The emphasis of my research is devoted to the multimodal multiple length scale characterisation of sustainable nanomaterials such as nanocellulose or iron oxides and their connection to functional properties. For this, we employ the simultaneous acquisition of small-angle scattering and diffraction of neutrons or X-rays typically under operando/in-situ conditions.

Current research projects:

  1. PRISMAS project "Using magnetoionics and x-ray scattering to investigate energy materials under operando conditions" 2025-2028
