He employed temperature programmed and pulsed molecular beam techniques, as well as optical and photoelectron spectroscopies, to investigate this reaction in the sub-nanometer size-regime. In the Friend Group, he is investigating thermal- and photochemical properties of nano-structured semiconductors under ultra-high vacuum in order to reveal fundamental molecular reaction steps and couple them with the structure of the material. - ## People [Former Group Members 2010 to present](/people/former-group-members-2010-to) [Postdoctoral Researchers](/people/postdoctoral-researcher)
