Dr. Osman Karslıoğlu

Inorganic Chemistry Department - Dr. Hendrik Bluhm

Interface Science Department - Prof. Beatriz Roldan-Cuenya • Managed the ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and FTIR laboratory • Designed and implemented a new gas inlet system for APXPS • Analyzed powder catalysts and nanoparticles with transmission electron microscopy (TEM, STEM, EDX) • Made a preliminary plan of the new thermal catalysis laboratory • Performed a feasibility analysis of commercial flow-chemisorption systems for active-area determination of Cu-based catalysts

• Investigated solid-liquid interfaces using ambient-pressure XPS (APXPS) mainly through the development of standing-wave ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy (SWAPPS). • Responsible postdoc in the collaborative research project between Berkeley Lab and Dow Chemical Company, studying propane dehydrogenation catalysts in-situ. • Developed a differentially-pumped electron flood gun for APXPS. • Provided user support at beamline 11.0.2 of the Advanced Light Source.
