Education

Ph.D., Materials Science (2011), Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology (LSST), Department of Materials of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology , ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland

Thesis: “Reactivity of Environmentally Compatible Lubricant Additives: an In Situ and Ex Situ Investigation”

Research Interests

Currently my research focuses on:

  1. the development of a new in situ tribological method, based on environmental X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (E-XPS)
  2. studying the scientific foundation of the influence of the environment on the tribological performance of diamond and diamond-like carbon (DLC) solid lubricants as well as their derivatives (e.g. silicon oxide-doped DLCs)
