Dr. Tobias Dickbreder was awarded a dissertation prize by the Bielefeld University Society on Monday, May 5, 2025, for one of the best doctoral theses at Bielefeld University from the year 2024. In his dissertation, he investigated the molecular interactions of water with geologically significant mineral surfaces and was able to demonstrate that hydroxyl groups form on the surface of potassium feldspar even in the presence of minimal amounts of water. The title of his dissertation is: Water on Calcite (10.4) and K-Feldspar (001) – Adsorption Structure and Desorption Kinetics. He is currently a postdoc at the University of Vienna. We congratulate Dr. Tobias Dickbreder on this outstanding achievement.
