Interfaces and Proton / Ion Transport

I have contributed to several studies on solid state surfaces, liquid interfaces, and evaporation processes. Apart from that, I was involved in the EU-funded FP7 MODERN project, which aimed at studying and modeling the toxicity of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. I am experienced with computing adsorption energies and entropies as well as electronic surface properties such as the band structure.

Furthermore, I contribute to the development of Markov models for proton and ion transport in solid state materials, which allow for the accurate description of these conduction processes in inhomogeneous (non-ideal) and amorphous systems up to the micrometer and microsecond scale. This is highly relevant for the re­search on new membrane materials for high temperature fuel cells, or for develop­ing solid electrolytes for batteries.
