Andreas Erbe
Professor of Corrosion and Interface Chemistry
Department of Materials Science and Engineering Faculty of Natural SciencesBackground and activities
I am interested in mechanisms of materials degradation on the atomic and molecular scale, and how these affect macroscopic systems behaviour.
To get some idea of the work in our group, check out our publications.
