Giuseppe Abbondanza

I am a researcher with a background in Materials Science. I earned my PhD in Synchrotron Radiation Research at Lund University, where I specialized in combining electrochemical measurements with synchrotron radiation techniques and 2-dimensional surface optical reflectance. This allowed me to investigate, for example, the in situ growth of nanostructured materials and examine the atomic structure of model electrode surfaces under operando conditions.

Through my research, I developed a strong interest in understanding the underlying principles and mechanisms that govern processes like the formation of nanomaterials and catalytic reactions. Currently, I am a postdoc in Langhammer's group, focusing on single particle catalysis and employing in-situ dark field plasmonic microscopy, quadrupole mass spectrometry, and synchrotron techniques.
