Dr. Parastoo Ebrahimi

• Investigated photoemission in ultrafine nanostructured Pt and its relationship to material performance. • Led a photoelectrochemical lab, ensuring reliable measurement systems. • Reproduced a Zahner CIMPS software fault causing inconsistent results; worked with the manufacturer to verify the fix. • Collaborated internationally on nanostructured Au and Pt.

•   Managed and conducted electrochemical and photoelectrochemical experiments on oxide electrodes and hybrid materials. •   Characterized materials using SEM, AFM, XRD, XRR, and XPS. •    Supported XPS system commissioning and established standardized surface analysis protocols. •    Contributed experimental results to DFG SFB 1073, supporting its third funding period renewal. •   Supervised students.

• Supported industrial coating development and optimization for anodizing, electroplating, and electroless Ni–P deposition • Analyzed coating failures on industrial components, identifying root causes and recommending corrective actions • Designed laboratory tests to assess coating properties, performance, and durability • Conducted pin-on-disk, hardness, and metallographic testing of materials and coatings • Characterized coatings using SEM/EDS, XRD, and FTIR for failure analysis and quality evaluation

• Achieved the PhD in Nanomaterial • Improving of surface science laboratory • Preparing anodic alumina template with high regularity
