Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), Lehrstuhl für Analytische Chemie II (NanoEC)
Kristina Tschulik received her doctorate from TU Dresden in 2012 and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden and at the University of Oxford. Afterwards she established the working group for “Electrochemistry and Nanoscale Materials” at Ruhr-University Bochum, where she has held the Chair for Analytical Chemistry II since 2018.
Activities
As Principal Investigator, Professor Tschulik is a member of the Cluster of Excellence Ruhr Explores Solvation RESOLV, the graduate college “Confinement Controlled Chemistry”, the international training network “Single-Entity Nanoelectrochemistry SENTINEL” and the Transregio SFB/TR 247 “Heterogeneous Oxidation Catalysis in the Liquid Phase”.
Awards
Among her most important honors are the “Dissertation Award of the Leibniz Association” (2013), the “International Society of Electrochemistry Award for Analytical Electrochemistry” (2017) and the “Hellmuth Fischer Medal” of the DECHEMA (2018). In addition to that she has received highly prestigious fellowships like a returnee program of North Rhine-Westphalia (2015–2020), a Marie Curie Intra European Fellowship (2012–2015) and a PhD scholarship of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes (2009–2012).
Focus
Tschulik develops new electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods for the characterization of nanoparticles in the liquid phase, both with regard to their physical properties, such as size, composition and structure, and their chemical reactivities in electrocatalysis and corrosion.
A further focus of her research is magnetic field-supported electrochemistry, in which locally superimposed magnetic fields are specifically used to control electrochemical reactions.
Methods
A combination of dark-field microscopy and electrochemistry can make individual nanoparticles in a liquid medium visible. The technique is suited to determine the activity of catalysts (…)
New findings on the recycling centres of cells
Like tiny garbage chutes, certain organelles clean cells of superfluous or defective material. Researchers are currently studying the mechanisms underlying this process. Both animal and plant cells depend on their own damaged or superfluous cell material being removed – a process referred t ... more
New approaches to heal injured nerves
Preventing the deactivation of a protein could be the key to repairing the central nervous system. Injuries to nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves usually result in functional losses as the nerve fibers are unable to regenerate. A team from the Department of Cell Physio ... more
How two water molecules dance together
Although water is omnipresent, the interaction between individual water molecules is not yet fully understood. An international research team has gained new insights into how water molecules interact. For the first time, the researchers were able to completely observe all of the movements b ... more
Light plus current: The formula for researching what happens to individual nanoparticles
A combination of dark-field microscopy and electrochemistry can make individual nanoparticles in a liquid medium visible. The technique is suited to determine the activity of catalysts during their use. more
Vibrational spectroscopy - Label-free imaging
Spectroscopic methods are now granting us deep insights into biological systems at previously unattainable spatial and temporal resolutions. Complementing the already well-established fluorescence spectroscopy, the major potential of label-free vibrational spectroscopy has become clear in r ... more
