The occupation will be within an ERC Starting Grant project until April 30th, 2020. A continuation of the occupation afterwards is pursued. The topic covers

• the analysis of nanostructures / -inhomogeneities in pressurized single-phase systems for the generation of fine particles
• and the analysis of microstructures during single-phase high pressure mixing processes for the generation of tailor made particles.

In-house developed optical measurement techniques as well as neutron and X-ray techniques at Europe's advanced beam lines will be used as analysis/diagnostics tools.

Salary:13 TV-L
Termination:April 30th, 2020 (extension pursued)
