Short CV:
Research interests:
My research interests lie at the interface of Crystallography/Materials
Science and Computational Chemistry. I use atomistic modelling methods
at different levels of theory to investigate the properties of
crystalline materials, especially microporous systems (zeolites, MOFs).
My present Heisenberg Project deals with the adsorption of pharmaceuticals
and other functional organic molecules in zeolites, aiming to further their
basic understanding and to contribute to the development of new applications
in wastewater treatment and drug delivery.
In previous projects, I have worked on the following topics:
• Dynamic behaviour of as-synthesised zeolites
• Benchmarking of DFT methods for structure and energetics of zeolites
• Gas storage and separation in microporous materials
• Structure-property relationships in zeolites
• Structural stability of inorganic compounds, elastic properties, and phase transitions
I still maintain active collaborations in some of these areas.
