Welcome
I am a Professor in the field of Experimental Physics at the Department of Physics at the University of Duisburg-Essen. My research interest focuses on the application of in-situ and time-resolved electron microscopy at surfaces, with the goal to investigate and understand dynamic processes at atomically controlled surfaces. For instance, some of my research deals with
- Spatially resolved decay dynamics of excited electrons after excitation with femtosecond laser pulses.
- Growth dynamics of thin films, organic semiconductors, and graphene
- Electromigration in self-assembled nanostructures
- Diffusion Dynamics and Self-Assembly
- Metal-induced Faceting
