02
Catalytic and light-driven systems
Photocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, and single-atom or dual-atom catalyst platforms aimed at sustainable material and energy applications.
03
Surface analysis and interfaces
Research grounded in XPS, ToF-SIMS, FTIR, RAMAN, and GDOES to connect nanoscale structure with chemical function and application performance.
Selected academic profile
Academic experience across research, teaching, and collaboration.
Teaching profile
Lecture, exercise, and laboratory leadership
Courses in Nanooberflachen und Strukturierung, Surface Analysis II, Basic Electrochemistry II, and hands-on laboratory training build a visible instructional profile.
Scholarly record
A publication and review footprint with depth
A research trajectory that combines highly cited publications, corresponding authorship, invited talks, reviewer recognition, and patent activity.
International reach
A network that extends beyond one institution
Appointments and collaborations across Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, and Singapore reinforce a transnational academic presence.
Funding and service
Research visibility matched by academic contribution
Third-party funding, large collaborative proposals, mentoring, committee work, and higher-education teaching development support an institution-facing profile.
