Our principal aim is to extend applicability of the Raman Microscpectroscopy (RM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) for environmental analytical chemistry.

The research fields and competences of our group are

Nondestructive 2D & 3D-chemical analysis by Raman Microscpectroscopy, Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and Stable Isotope Raman Microspectroscopy (SIRM)

• Identification and quantification of (microplastic) particles and fibers down to 1 µm

• Raman-based size resolved characterization of particles in nano-size range

• In situ 2D & 3D chemical analysis of surfaces /membranes and biofilms

• Stable Isotope Raman Microspectroscopy for analysis of pollutant biodegradation
