(born April 28, 1977 in , Germany) is a German physical chemist. He is a professor at the Graz University of Technology and heads the Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Materials (ICTM).
Career studied chemistry at the Leibniz University Hannover where he also earned his doctorate. His habilitation focused on ultraslow ion transport in solids.
Since 2011, he has been a professor of solid-state chemistry of modern energy storage systems at the Graz University of Technology. From 2012 to 2019, he also led the CD-Lab "Lithium Batteries: Aging Effects, Technology and New Materials". In 2016, he became the head of the Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Materials (ICTM) at TU Graz.
Research 's research focuses on ionic diffusion in crystalline and amorphous solids. His group uses techniques such as temperature-dependent nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation measurements and broadband conductivity spectroscopy to study ionic transport processes.
He is the author or co-author of over 200 scientific publications.
Awards In 2006, received the Starck Prize from the GDCh Division of Solid-State Chemistry and Materials Science.
In 2009, he was awarded the ADUC Prize of the GDCh (Association of German University Professors of Chemistry).
