I am an experimental physicist in the Department of Physics at Utrecht University.
I develop and apply advanced optical microscopy techniques to uncover fundamental mechanisms relevant to more efficient clean-energy technologies.
My research focuses on ion and charge transport in electrolytes and catalytic materials during (electro)chemical reactions. In particular, I develop in situ optical spectro-microscopy techniques to visualize and understand how ions and charges move through electrolytes and catalytic materials during processes such as electric double-layer (EDL) charging, redox reactions, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and hydrogen insertion in electrochemical hydrogen-storage materials.
