Operator at Mainzer Mikrotron (MAMI) I was responsible for smooth operations of the 4 step electron accelerator, assuring the success of connected experiments. This required control, tuning of beam optics and solving minor problems occurring during operation
MiNaLab (Micro-Nano Laboratory) focuses on the development of novel semiconductors. As a part of the technical team I am responsible for maintenance and operation of the many instruments and the laboratory infrastructure. In addition I carry out measurements for researchers, training on the instruments and teaching of students. My responsibilities are secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Reactive Ion Etch and (RIE) and Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD). In addition I am responsible for radiation safety in the laboratory.
Development of radioactive molecular beams for the ISOLDE experiment. As a result of my research ISOLDE could provide short lived radioactive Boron (8B) for the first time to experiments leading to new research.
Alignment, operation and maintenance of the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) at the ISOLDE experiment. RILIS is a multi step ion source which allows element specific resonant ionization. My work involved operation and handling of TISA, dye and pump lasers. Furthermore I investigated laser induced breakup of carbonyl molecules for the production of refractory metal ion beams.
