Research & Skills

I am a mineralogist with a background in synthesis and characterization of intermetallic single crystals. During my PhD, I investigated the formation of two-dimensional organic nanoarchitectures using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and high-resolution X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. At the MLZ, my research focuses on high-temperature alloys. Our goal is to precisely understand the relationship of the mechanical properties to the microstructure of the alloys over an extended temperature range. In this context, the temperature-dependent evolution such as precipitation or dissolution of the phases involved is of utmost importance, which is directly accessible by neutron diffraction at the respective temperatures. Additionally, small-angle neutron scattering is used to obtain information about the size and shape of the existing nanostructures.

Applied Methods:

X-ray/Neutron diffraction
Neutron imaging
Small-angle neutron scattering
