Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClemens Prescher is a Junior-Professor for Geomaterials and Crystalline Materials with 12 years of hands-on experience in experimental geoscience, mineralogy, and high-pressure research. He leads a research group at the University of Freiburg studying mineral behavior at extreme pressures and temperatures, combining synchrotron, neutron and electron microscopy techniques. His background includes instrument scientist work at DESY where he implemented diamond anvil cell methods on an XFEL and postdoctoral roles at Argonne/GSECARS and Bayreuth exploring molten materials and core-like iron carbides. Clemens pairs deep experimental skills (TEM, XRD, XAS, Mössbauer) with practical coding for beamline GUIs and analysis tools in Python and Matlab to improve user experiments. He is active in mentoring and international collaboration, bridging method development and real-world sample analysis. Less obvious: his track record shows a consistent focus on enabling other researchers through instrumentation and software as much as on single-author discoveries.
