Short presentation

In my research I apply neutron scattering methods to current challenges in material science. The goal is to relate macroscopic emergence to the structure and dynamics on molecular length scales. The focus is on soft mater, in particular complex liquids and their viscoelastic properties, as well as on magnetic and energy materials. In order to enable new research directions I am driving neutron instrument and method developments.

Research

    In my research I am interested to connect macroscopic emergence, materials properties, to their building blocks on the atomistic scale, structure and dynamics on nm length scales. The focus on the research areas listed below:

    Soft matter

    • Solid - Liquid interface
    • Self organisation
    • Rheology
    • Surface coatings
    • Dynamics

    Magnetism

    • Thin films and superlattices
    • Nanoparticles

    Hydrogen in metals

    • Thin films and superlattices
    • Phase transitions
    • Diffusion

    Scattering techniques and instrumentation

    • Polarised neutron scattering
    • Grazing incident scattering
    • Quasielastic scattering
