Scientific expertise |
I am a pioneer in the field of synthesis, characterization and applications of self-organized TiO2 nanotube layers. I have authored and co-authored some of the founding work on the subject of growth, rharacterization and applications of the self-organized TiO2 nanotube layers, amounting in total to more than 120 papers which have attracted so far more than 16.000 citations. I am also skilled in the art of atomic layer deposition technology, which we use to coat or decorate various substrates by ultrathin and uniform layers of different compositions, that provide always some functionality to the unde laying substrate. |

Capabilities |
Except knowledge of materials science (in particular nanostructures, thin film depositions) and electrochemistry, I possess also: management skills (scientific projects, teams), pedagogic skills (teaching, supervision of students), reviewing skills (differn national and international projects, student tn°.sis at different levels), writing skills (more than 40 papers as first authors, more than 100 papers as the corresponding author), organization of workshops, seminars, small conferences, excellent presentation and negotiation skills. |
