Andreas Stierle
Structure and properties of nanoscale systems
Andreas Stierle is Professor for Nanoscience at the University of Hamburg and Lead Scientist at DESY. He is also responsible for the organisation of the DESY Nanolab as a user facility. His main focus is on investigating the structure and physical-chemical properties of nanoscale systems, ranging from ultrahigh-vacuum to application-related environmental conditions, with the help of synchrotron-radiation-based methods. In addition, complementary laboratory examination methods of the DESY Nanolab are used. The results gained deepen our fundamental understanding of gas–solid or liquid–solid interfaces in nanomaterials used in heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion protection or energy conversion processes.
