With an h-index of 30 at a young age, he has published over 100 articles and has more than 3000 citations. He has won many prestigious awards including the DFG Heisenberg Program Award, Fojtik-Henglein Prize, and the Berthold Leibinger Prize for his work in scaling up the production of nanoparticles using laser technology. He received his degree in Physics from RWTH Aachen University and Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology, Germany in 2008. In 2012, he obtained his doctoral degree in laser physics from North Carolina State University in the US. After working in the industry, he moved backed to academia in 2014 where he was entrusted as a group in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University Duisburg-Essen in Germany. In 2021, he became a full professor at the University of Wuppertal. His research group focuses on the fundamentals of laser synthesis of colloids, synthesis of alloy nanoparticles, and functionalization of laser-generated nanoparticles in additive manufacturing and energy applications.
