I worked there as a postdoctoral fellow or "Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (German)". I was responsible for sample preparation lab, AFM lab, set up the beam line and supporting the user's in addition to my own research work in the field of polymer-metal interface.

I did my PhD there. I supported my PhD work doing part time job at the University. The jobs were taking seminars, supervising atomic force microscopy practical course and correcting undergraduate student's exams.
