Magdalen College
University of Oxford
Christian is a 4th year DPhil candidate based in the Department of Chemistry (Perkin group). Christian collaborates across Chemistry and the Nanomaterials by Design group to undertake research aiming to use CVD grown graphene inside the graphene Surface Force Balance (gSFB). During this multi-disciplinary project he has investigated the growth and transfer of graphene [1,2]; measured the surface and interfacial energies of graphene [3]; and developed new optical techniques for analyzing the interferometric data obtained using the gSFB [4]. His current research focuses on measurement of surfaces forces in concentrated electrolytes using the gSFB. Christian holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Chemistry from Utrecht University. He is broadly interested in microfabrication, optics and molecular scale mechanisms at interfaces. His past research has included research into the colloidal synthesis of semi-conductor nanocrystals and top-down fabrication of chiral plasmonic nanoparticles [5,6].
