Summary

My research is focused on relating the microstructure of metallic nanoparticles to the thermodynamics and kinetics of hydrogen sorption, specifically with applications of hydrogen sensing in mind. This includes fabricating the nanoparticles in a state-of-the-art cleanroom as well as characterizing their properties for hydrogen sorption. The latter is done with a multitude of experimental techniques, including electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as well as a combined, in-house designed single particle plasmonic nanospectroscopy/nanomicroscopy setup.
