Postdoctoral research fellow

Benedikt has joined the group in March 2020 and works on the simulation of photoelectron and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Coming from an experimental background, his work is embedded in a joint experimental-theoretical project for the development of single-atom catalysis. In this capacity he also performs experiments with the I09 team at Diamond Light Source.
