Group description
Keys to an increased understanding of the properties of new materials are embedded in their structures, ranging from the mesoscale down to the atomic level. Electron microscopy provides important tools to shed light on these details.
My main research interest comprises methods including (S)TEM imaging from the mesoscale down to the atomic scale, scanning electron diffraction (4D STEM) as well as 3D electron diffraction.
We work on a wide range of material systems with a recent focus on biopolymer-based materials including cellulose and nanoporous materials such as zeolites and MOFs.
