Team Leader
Dr Johannes Buchen, Dipl. in Mineralogy. Johannes’s research focusses on the properties and behaviour of minerals and materials in the Earth’s interior. As the team leader, Johannes oversees and coordinates research activities, supervises students, and initiates new research projects.
MSc Students
Ibrahim Jemal, BSc in Geology. Ibrahim investigates the compression behaviour and elastic properties of sintered polycrystals of bridgmanite at high pressures using X-ray diffraction and Brillouin spectroscopy.
Extended Crew
Research and Support Staff
To carry out research at the cutting edge and to maintain the highest levels of accuracy and reproducibility in our experiments, we count on the active support of dedicated and highly capable research and support staff at the Bayerisches Geoinstitut, at the beamlines of synchrotron radiation facilities, and elsewhere. Without this support, many aspects of our research would be impossible. – Thank you!
Research Partners
Modern research is a global and collective endeavour and requires cooperation across continents and scientific disciplines. Most of our collaborators turn into our co-authors as documented by our joint publications. Whether this is already the case or is yet to come, we thank our collaborators for sharing their expertise with us, for making important contributions to our projects, and for integrating us into their research activities. – Thank you!
