Main Content

Are you fascinated by the nano world?

We use microfluidics and time-resolved X-ray scattering to investigate ultrafast protein structural dynamics, soft matter self assembly and the nucleation & growth of nanoparticles.

Have you ever wondered about processes at the nano scale?

Atoms, molecules and electrons move, form bonds between each other and break apart unimaginably fast. The understanding of fundamental chemical and physical processes in photon- and nanoscience represent some of the biggest and most exciting challenges of modern science.

The TrebbinLab works on the ultrafast structure determination in liquids to study these fascinating processes and their fundamental dynamics. By combining state-of-the-art microfluidic techniques with X-rays from modern free electron lasers (XFELs) and synchrotrons, we investigate protein structural dynamics, complex fluids and the nucleation and growth of nanoparticles, so that maybe, one day, we will even be able to control them systematically and impact the view of our world.

Our group is part of the excellence cluster "Centre for Ultrafast Imaging” (CUI) of the University of Hamburg and we are located at the campus of the "Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron" (DESY).
