Stephan Müssig graduated from the University of Wuerzburg with M.Sc. in Functional Materials in 2017. He performed his Master’s Thesis in the Mandel group on ultrasound-assisted synthesis of nano- and microparticles. Afterwards Stephan worked as a scientist on silicon-based anodes at the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) in Kjeller close to Oslo, Norway. He succesfully presented his doctoral thesis in March 2023 for which he received a doctoral scholarship from The German Federal Environmental Foundation (Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, DBU). His work focuses on magnetic particles for identification of arbitrary objects with a focus towards energy applications. Their adjustable magnetic signal response is resolved by Magnetic Particle Spectroscopy (MPS), a powerful, yet comparably unknown characterization technique.
