Univ.-Prof. Dr. Oskar Paris heads the SyNergy_Mat Lab (Synchrotron and Neutrons for Energy Materials). The research group focuses on the fundamental physics of nanostructured materials, particularly for advanced energy applications. Using highly complex methods such as neutron and synchrotron scattering at international large-scale research facilities, the team investigates fascinating phenomena at the nanoscale. Core projects include hydrogen storage in nanoporous carbons, ion electrosorption in supercapacitors, and the analysis of biomineralized tissues. Through these profound insights into structure-function relationships, the group creates an essential physical foundation for high-performance energy storage and environmentally friendly material concepts. >more<

As a Senior Scientist, Dr. Florian Spieckermann is a proven expert in the thermal and mechanical behavior of metastable systems. He researches complex nanostructures, metallic glasses, and polymers using state-of-the-art methods such as high-speed calorimetry (Flash DSC) and in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. His goal is to decipher thermal stability, crystallization processes, and relaxation mechanisms at the atomic level. With this profound structure-property analysis, he provides essential knowledge to drastically increase the reliability and service life of innovative amorphous materials under extreme conditions. >more<
