Method and Device Development
The characterization of soft and biological materials over many orders of length and time scales requires the development of new methods with greatly improved spatial and temporal resolution. We develop microfluidic devices for sub-millisecond mixing and cell encapsulation, nanosecond NIR-laser temperature jump, millisecond stopped-flow concentration and temperature jump, millisecond pressure jump, as well as micro-scanning SAXS- and SANS techniques for in-situ monitoring of very fast phase transitions and high-resolution diffraction tomography of synthetic and biological materials.
