The versatility of ethylenediamine-inspired Schiff-base transition metal complexes has been shown in their extensive applications in molecular sensors (e.g. electrochromic, recognition) and molecular switches (e.g. redox, magnetic).

The fundamental properties of the pandemic spread of SARS-CoV-2 have been understood very early.

The demonstration of nuclear fusion in the laboratory and eventual utilization as an unlimited energy source has been a grand challenge for physicists and engineers for 70 years. The realization as an industrial energy source would have a tremendous impact on our society and would change our approach to energy policy and climate change.

Astrophysical black holes are surrounded by accretion disks, jets, and coronae consisting of magnetized relativistic plasma. They produce observable high-energy radiation from nearby the event horizon and it is currently unclear how this emission is exactly produced.

We synthesize, characterize, and apply functional nanomaterials. We use electrochemistry to enable, among others, energy storage (supercapacitors, redox electrolytes, batteries), water treatment (desalination, pollutant removal), and tailored ion recovery (esp. Lithium recovery).
