Welcome to our group, led by Prof. Dr. Ueli Angst, who holds an SNSF professorship.

We are primarily concerned with corrosion of metals in various porous media and environments, such as steel in concrete or in soil. We are interested in the durability of engineered materials and structures in civil engineering and infrastructures in the energy sector, where our research is focused on addressing real-world engineering challenges by fundamental science methods. We use experimental and computational methods covering materials science, electrochemistry, porous media and reactive mass transport, civil engineering, etc. We are committed to provide mechanistic insight into corrosion mechanisms, develop measuring methods and sensors for monitoring purposes, and corrosion mitigation strategies.
