André completed his PhD at the “Leibniz-Institut für Festkörper- und Werkstoffforschung”, specializing in material characterization using small-angle scattering methods. As a postdoctoral researcher at the V4 SANS instrument in Berlin, he pioneered the application of polarized neutrons within the SANS framework, enabling more reliable analyses of magnetic fluids and other magnetic materials. Following a second postdoctoral position at ANSTO in Sydney, André joined the MLZ in Garching to lead the development of the SANS-1 instrument, a joint project between Hereon and TU München.
His research focuses on complex nanostructured materials and magnetic fluids. To advance this field, he develops cutting-edge analysis software based on Bayesian strategies, integrating experimental data from diverse sources for more robust material modelling. As an instrument scientist, André continues to enhance the capabilities of SANS-1, establishing it as one of the world’s leading small-angle neutron scattering instruments, supporting a wide range of experiments spanning materials science to exotic magnetic phenomena.
