Team

Our multi-disciplinary team consists of members of the Material Physics and Technology at Extreme Conditions group of the Laboratory of Crystallography, the Bavarian Research Institute for Experimental Geochemistry and Geophysics (BGI) of the University of Bayreuth, and other institutions and synchrotron facilities. All members of our team (research fellows, habilitands, PhD and MSc students) work tightly together on common projects, while also having their own independent research focus.
