Leoni Luthardt completed her Master of Science in Chemistry at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg in 2022. During her Master’s thesis in the Supraparticle Group she worked on the design and characterization of luminescent temperature indicator supraparticles with a tunable two-step color change. In her PhD thesis starting in 2023, she will continue in Prof. Mandel’s group in the field of inductively heatable nanoparticles and their versatile applications. Special focus lies on implementing them in controlled design for dismantling scenarios, especially in lithium-ion battery architectures to improve their recycling strategies.

Magnetic entities and magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS)

Iron oxide-based nanoparticles can be engineered to be magnetically steerable, inductively heatable or chemically reactive. Joined to entites such as supraparticles, collective magnetic interaction occurs. Besides designing these magnetic interactions, we also study them via the method of magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS) that we pioneer and consider as a very powerful tool that provides new eyes to study processes or materials when it is dark, i.e., when one cannot use (light) optical means.
