Her tasks include carrying out Piston Cylinder Experiments, polishing experimental samples for subsequent analysis, and participating in the characterization of experimental samples using the SEM. Julius Eschenauer (4. Semester) Rebecca Hartmann Julius Eschenauer Julius is working in our Pulsed Layered deposition (PLD) lab since Fall 2020, where he polishes single crystals, and coats them with thin layers of any material of interest for subsequent diffusion studies. Former Staff At least 72% of our students and post-docs have been able to find job placement immediately after their stay in our workgroup. Below you will be able to see where some of our former colleagues are up to now.
