Scientific focus:

  • Magnetic and superconducting properties, transport and ordering phenomena in complex correlated quantum materials
  • Experimental techniques (e.g. SQUID and Hall magnetometry, AC susceptometry) at extreme sample conditions, e.g. high magnetic fields and low temperatures
  • Numerical-assisted design of pulsed-power supplies, magnets, cryotechnical equipment 
  • Interdisciplinary research, e.g. medical technology, laboratory astrophysics
  • Project planning of research facilities and complex technical installations
