Weber will use newly developed heat treatments and
other crystal engineering methods to reduce the defects that occur during growth of these crystals, resulting in better detector performance.
The authors use the opportunities provided by nano -
engineered dielectrics, the so - called Photonic
Crystals, to study both how to trap the atoms closer to each
other and make them interact through the guided modes in the structure.
After deciphering the
crystal structure of the catalytic domain of PHA synthase, in addition to
other structural studies on whole enzyme and related proteins, the research team also performed experiments to elucidate the mechanisms of the enzyme reaction, validating detailed structures, enzyme
engineering, and also N - terminal domain studies among
others.
His
other topics of research concern the field of supramolecular chemistry,
crystal engineering and fabrication of hybrid organic — inorganic functional materials like coordination polymers based on organometallic nodes or open metal — organic frameworks with controllable size and morphology with potential applications in storage and separation of gases and small organic molecules.
