Development of operando diagnostics for Li-ion cathodes by Raman spectroscopy
(2019)The ever increasing demand for better-performing Li-ion batteries (LIBs) motivates substantial research efforts into the understanding of the working principles of every battery component, particularly of the cathode because it is the performance-limiting component in LIBs. The lithium-transition-metal oxides (LiMO2) with layered structure are the state-of-the-art cathode active materials for LIBs but many aspects of their operation are ...Doctoral Thesis -
Dissipation and Interactions in Quantum Optics
(2019)Quantum optics, the study of light at the level of its building blocks, has been one of the frontiers of science. The arena of quantum optics has been fruitful for investigations of a wide range of interesting questions, from those on the fundamental structures in driven dissipative systems to those on applications of quantum information processing and quantum communication. The first part of this thesis is concerned with one of the ...Doctoral Thesis -
A Software System for Automating Lab Experiments with Liquid-Handling Robots
(2017)This thesis is concerned with the problem of automating liquid-handling robots in synthetic biology, which is especially relevant to facilitate experiments that are difficult or impossible to perform manually. Research tasks that are not highly standardized are still rarely automated in practice. Two main reasons for this are the substantial investments required to translate molecular biological protocols into robot programs, and the ...Doctoral Thesis -
Marine boundary layer stable water isotope variability in the Southern Ocean
(2019)The Southern Ocean overturning strength constitutes an essential control mecha- nism for future anthropogenic carbon uptake. The atmospheric water cycle, in turn, exerts an influence on upwelling intensity via buoyancy forcing induced by fresh- water fluxes. Stable water isotopes (H216O, H218O, HDO) are a powerful tool to constrain processes of the atmospheric water cycle and can therefore help to gain a more comprehensive picture on the ...Master Thesis -
Collaborative Organizing for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
(2020)With the rise of the knowledge economy and an increasing demand for innovation, collaboration is gaining prominence as an organizing principle. This habilitation thesis centers on the question how individuals collaborate to innovate and to explore entrepreneurial opportunities. My coauthors and I draw on both organizational and psychological theories to study this important phenomenon in three empirical contexts: open-source software ...Habilitation Thesis -

Adapting climate science
(2020)Much scholarship has argued that information on future climate change ought to be the basis for climate adaptation decisions. But how has the impressive corpus of knowledge produced by climate scientists been processed and adapted to inform adaptation decisions in practice? This doctoral thesis compares and analyses how different actors have ap-proached, grappled with, understood, generated relevance and acted upon climate science for ...Doctoral Thesis
