Scientific career: B.Sc. in Chemistry and Economics at University of Ulm, M.Sc. in Chemistry at Technical University of Munich, currently Ph.D. in Nanotechnology at University of Trieste Previously involved in research projects of institutes: Heterogeneous Catalysis, IOK, Prof. R.J. Behm University of Ulm; Molecular Engineering at Functional Interfaces, Physics Department, Prof. W. Auwärter, Technical University of Munich. My current research interest within the Ph.D. degree is the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured 2D materials. I work under the supervision of Dr. Cristina Africh at CNR-IOM in the STRAS group in Trieste. The main experimental techniques are scanning tunneling microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
