Application & Service [Powder Diffraction]

> Synthesized photonic materials, template polymers and inorganic photocatalysts. > Analyzed organic and inorganic compounds to determine their chemical properties. > Maintained laboratory instruments and developed new laboratory equipment. > Collaborated with engineers in new processes and product development. > PhD project on “Synthesis and structure-property-relations of photonic materials“

> Assisted research on biocompatible coatings for ceramic dental implants. > Performed biaxial strength testing, surface analysis (hardness & roughness) and tests with simulated body fluid. > Carried out surface coating and sample preparation including sintering / cold isostatic pressing
