Christin Buechner  | About Me I am a physical chemist focused on understanding functional
materials at the atomic level. I did my PhD in Berlin at the
Fritz-Haber-Institute, where I studied 2D silica glass with high-resolution
microscopy. In my PhD work, I described the amorphous network structures in
glass using real-space data, and studied the chemical properties and stability
of the 2D silica. Supported by a fellowship from the Humboldt Foundation, I have joined LBL to
study the solid/liquid interface of membranes using ambient pressure X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy, allowing us to understand the fundamental
mechanisms of water diffusion, ion transport and surface adhesion. A better
view of these processes in membrane systems will help us design better materials
for separation challenges, such as desalination of seawater. |
