Manfred Buck

Prof. Manfred Buck is a Professor and Researcher at the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews. His research focuses on nanoscale strategies involving solid-liquid interface processes, molecular assembly, and nanostructure fabrication. He contributes to teaching modules in physical chemistry labs, electrochemistry, and nanomaterials. His work employs scanning probe microscopies and electron spectroscopies to study self-assembly mechanisms and functionalize surfaces for applications in catalysis and electronics.

Research interests include designing molecular systems for precise nanostructure generation, electrodeposition templating, and studying chemical reactivity at single-molecule levels. Recent publications emphasize nanoparticle patterning, interface engineering, and supramolecular networks. His research bridges fundamental surface science with applied nanotechnology, particularly in creating controlled metallic nanostructures.

Prof. Buck advises PhD students like Lakshmi Priya Muthaiah. His work has been published in journals like Nanoscale, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, and Langmuir, reflecting expertise in interface-driven nanomaterial synthesis.
