Biography:
Kathrin Maria Aziz-Lange, whose research straddles the fields of synchrotron x-ray spectroscopy and energy materials, is a Junior Professor at Bielefeld University and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie. She became involved with synchrotron radiation in 2009 during her thesis work on high-resolution XES measurements on the hydrogen bond network of liquid water, that was award with the Wilhelm-Ostwald Nachwuchs prize by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker. Following a postdoc at the Max-Born Institute Berlin and a research stay at the École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne on ultrafast liquid spectroscopy she returned to HZB. Since 2016 she is leading there and in Bielefeld the Helmholtz Young Investigator group Operando Characterization of Solar Fuel Materials focusing on the development of synchrotron based in-situ and operando characterization techniques to elucidate the electronic structure of energy conversion materials during function.
Title : In situ and Operando soft X ray absorption spectroscopy on water oxidation catalysts
