- Operando Water and Ion Transport: I pioneered operando high-energy X-ray scattering and fluorescence (WAXS/SAXS/XRF) to directly visualize water and ion transport in membrane–electrode assemblies. These studies revealed how water movement, flooding, and salt formation govern degradation in CO/CO2 electrolysis, establishing the dynamic transport mechanisms in confined electrochemical environments. (Nat. Nanotechnol. 2025; Joule 2024; Nat. Catal. 2023)2. Design of Membrane-Electrode Interface: I
Sascha FeldmannMission
Our lab seeks to transform the way we produce and consume energy as a society, by exploiting the exceptional properties of emerging soft semiconductors. For this, we explore the concept of symmetry breaking in novel soft semiconductors and nanomaterials to control charge, spin and light with these printable materials.We work on uncovering the design rules to enable the next generation of cheap and flexible solar cells & ultra-bright displays, and unlock entirely new applications in quantum informati
Matthias HeinrichMatthias Heinrich is a post-doctoral researcher in the HERUS laboratory. Trained in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Rennes, he was introduced to interdisciplinary collaboration with the social sciences during his thesis in Urban Engineering at the Ecole des Ponts. His research, which combined data science and energy sociology, aimed to integrate consumption practices and their residential contexts more thoroughly into energy consumption models for the residential sec
Jessica Berit VerheijI am a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Landscape Development (LAND). My research focuses on spatial conflicts in growing cities, mainly in relation to urban greening and densification. I am interested in understanding the political processes behind the implementation of sustainability goals and the role of planning and property in urban development.I hold a PhD degree in Geography from the University of Bern. In my PhD research, I analysed how cities can combine urban greening with densificatio
