Research Focus
Light Scattering Methods
Light is my preferred tool for understanding matter at the microscopic level. My expertise includes:
- Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) – Investigation of diffusion and dynamics in colloidal systems
- Dynamic Mueller Matrix Spectroscopy – Capturing polarization-dependent correlation functions
- Ellipsometry – Characterization of interfaces and thin films
- Correlation Ellipsometry – Combining ellipsometry with time-resolved measurements
Materials & Systems
- Soft Matter – Polymers, gels, liquid crystals
- Colloids – Nanoparticles, colloidal aggregates, anisotropic particles
- Interfaces – Solid-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces
- Complex Fluids – Emulsions, suspensions, self-assembling systems
Methodological Strengths
- Development and optimization of optical measurement setups
- Hardware control and automation
- Data analysis and mathematical modeling
- Combination of experimental and theoretical approaches
