Short Profile
Lars Robben studied physics/astronomy at the University of Bonn and geosciences at the University of Hannover. After graduating with a degree in earth sciences (2006), he received his Ph.D. from the University of Hannover (2009) at the Institute of Mineralogy, where he worked as a research assistant and from 2008 onward as a laboratory manager (X-ray/SEM). Since 2011 he has been a research assistant at the University of Bremen in the AG Gesing (FB2). There he is the group leader of “porous materials” as well as laboratory manager.
His current research focus is on sodalites and their temperature-dependent structure-property relationships. Due to the amount of data generated by temperature-dependent analytical methods, research data management and automated data evaluation became a very practical problem and led, among other things, to methodological developments in the field of statistical analysis of measurement data (autocorrelation method, quality assessment of diffraction data) and simulation methods (cellular automata). In addition, Lars Robben is a Data Steward of AG Gesing and supervises the electronic laboratory notebook.
