Valtiner Group (TU Wien)

Applied Interface Physics (AIP)

Markus Valtiner is the Head of the Institute of Applied Physics at the Technical University of Vienna and an expert in solid/liquid interfaces, non-equilibrium (electrochemical) processes and degradation/corrosion of materials. His group focuses on the broad areas of solid|liquid interfaces, electrochemistry as well as interfacial forces and their utilization for making better energy-saving, energy efficient, cheaper, long lasting smart materials for application in structural and functional materials. This includes, for example, electrocatalysts for electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction, as well as the development of stable and long-lasting structural materials. His group is an expert in surface analysis techniques (AFM, XPS, AES, SFA…) and for the application of molecular modelling technologies (DFT, MD simulations as well FEM simulations), working at both fundamental scientific as well as applied industrial scales, and intensively collaborate with industrial partners in the framework of the COMET Centre of Excellence CEST (Center for Electrochemical Surface Technology), where Markus Valtiner is also scientific director.
