Interested in biomaterials and the correlative analysis using X-ray based techniques such as computed tomography and diffraction. A special focus lies in the understanding of the interplay between mechanical stresses and degradation in biodegradable magnesium-based implant materials.

Research interests include the use of

• (analytical) electron microscopy


• electron tomography incl. quantitative 3D analysis


• 4D-STEM imaging and statistical analysis


• (high-speed) in-situ TEM
  
  with applications in materials sciences (catalysis, batteries, glass, magnetic materials)

Interested in biomaterials and correlating different imaging techniques. Especially understanding the biodegradation processes of Magnesium-based alloys at the micro- to nanoscale by applying synchrotron radiation nano computed tomography and transmission electron microscopy techniques.

Head of the IPS/LAS BioLab at KIT; coordinator for biological imaging and the institute's activities in the research topic “Building Blocks of Life” of the Helmholtz program “From Matter to Materials and Life” (MML).

My research interests include insect functional …
