His research investigates the structural properties of diverse sample systems—such as proteins in solution, model cell membranes, water, self-associating fluids, functional surfaces, iron-containing minerals, and silicate glasses—under extreme conditions like high pressure and temperature, mimicking environments in the deep sea and Earth's mantle.
The group conducts in-situ experiments using advanced X-ray techniques at multiple facilities, including the university’s X-ray laboratory, the local synchrotron DELTA, European synchrotron centers, and the European XFEL. They are actively involved in advancing experimental methods in X-ray physics and operate two dedicated experimental stations at DELTA for biological and materials science applications.
No scientific awards or specific publications are listed in the provided text. There is no mention of students or grants. However, the research group is clearly active and infrastructure-rich, with strong technical and collaborative capabilities.
