معرفی
Uwe Burghaus is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at North Dakota State University. His research focuses on surface science, heterogeneous catalysis, and nanoscience, with an emphasis on atomic-level understanding of gas-surface interactions on 2D materials like graphene, silicatene, and carbon nanotubes.
- PhD: Free University - Berlin
- Postdoc: Dipartmento di Fisica-Genoa
- Postdoc: University of California - Santa Barbara
Research highlights include:
- Investigating metal-free catalysis using graphenic systems
- Developing model catalysts through electron beam lithography
- Characterizing adsorption dynamics via molecular beam scattering and XPS/AES
Recent publications analyze CO2 and sulfur compound interactions with 2D materials, with applications in environmental catalysis and hydrogen storage. Key collaborations span institutions in Belgium (Université de Namur), Italy (University of Padova), and NASA.
Scientific awards include US Patent 9242231 (2016) for metal-nanotube hybrid catalysts. He has advised multiple graduate students in physical chemistry and nanoscience projects.
The Burghaus Group operates a multi-lab facility for ultra-high vacuum studies, nanofabrication, and kinetic analysis, equipped with molecular beam scattering systems and spectroscopic instrumentation.
