Daniel Weber

Dr. Daniel Weber is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology, specializing in Energy and Materials. His research focuses on synthesizing novel inorganic layered materials for energy storage/conversion applications, including electrocatalysts and quantum materials. He leads the Daniel Weber Research Group, which combines high-temperature and soft-chemistry synthesis techniques with advanced characterization methods like X-ray diffraction.

Dr. Weber earned his PhD from the Max-Planck-Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, followed by postdoctoral work at Ohio State University (USA) and a research associate position at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. In September 2023, he established his independent research group at Chalmers, supported by a fellowship from the Wallenberg Initiative for Materials Science for Sustainability.

His research interests span layered bulk materials, 2D magnets, water oxidation catalysts, CO₂ utilization systems, and ionic conductors. Recent work emphasizes defect engineering in cathode materials and strain-tuning of magnetic properties in 2D systems.

Key achievements include contributions to LiNiO₂ cathode optimization, W-doping strategies, and magnetic behavior analysis in twisted bilayer CrI₃. His publications reflect expertise in materials synthesis, electrochemistry, and quantum phenomena.

Dr. Weber collaborates actively on thesis projects and industrial partnerships, offering supervision opportunities at all academic levels. His group's lab facilities include specialized equipment for operando X-ray diffraction and advanced materials characterization.
