Research
In her joint PhD project (DESY Hamburg + ETH Zurich), Katinka is working on time-resolved studies on water aggregates. The aim is to gain insight into the scattering dynamics of electrons with low kinetic energy in aqueous environments. By their capability to trigger chemical reactions, these low-energy electrons are also considered as a source of DNA damage in living cells. The project is part of the Center for Molecular Water Science (CWMS).
