After specialising on electrochemical interfaces during my master's in physics, I focussed on the research of surface diffusion of adsorbates at these interfaces during PhD. Though surface diffusion is a very basic process at electrodes, which is crucial for many electrode reaction in todays energy storage and conversion systems, it is not sufficiently understood yet. During PhD, I developed a novel, optical method to measure surface diffusion and thus contribute to a broader understanding in this area. After PhD, my focus shifted towards education, connecting university with schools and bringing science to school students already in early age.
