Nanomaterials for Electronic and Energy Applications
We develop high-entropy and other complex functional materials and investigate how composition, structure and processing determine their properties in electronic and energy applications.
Our research focuses on high-entropy and compositionally complex materials, novel active materials for memristive devices, functional inks and materials with tailored electrochemical functionalities. We combine high-throughput synthesis and characterization, thin-film and printing technologies, and automated experimentation with AI/ML-based optimization to efficiently explore complex materials spaces and establish fundamental composition–structure–property–function relationships.
A particular focus lies on linking new materials with emerging electronic and electrochemical technologies, ranging from digital and analog memristors for neuromorphic computing to batteries, electrocatalysis, bio-inspired processes and other related applications.
Our group is embedded in the interdisciplinary Research Unit Electronic Devices and Systems, enabling close collaboration across materials science, chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, and data-driven materials research.
