Maria Messing's research group focuses on the generation, characterization and applications of aerosol nanoparticles. The main generation technique is spark discharge and the key characterization technique is electron microscopy. Specific research topics include:

  • Up scaling of nanoparticle generation by spark discharge
    EU-project BUONAPART-E
  • Basic aerosol physics and generation of nanoparticles with tailored properties.
  • Model nanoparticle systems in catalysis research.
  • Handling of nanoparticles in a safe and sustainable manner.
  • Understanding the role of the seed particle in nanowire growth.

Maria also started up and coordinates the PhD student research school Advanced Microscopy Research Environment (ADMIRE).
