- Ion Physics: Physics of highly charged ions, atomic collisions (ions–atom/molecule, ion-surface), “hollow” atom formation and decay, ions as tools to modify and investigate surfaces
- Plasma Physics: Fusion plasmas, plasma-wall-interaction, plasma diagnostics and modelling, atomic data for fusion, ECR ion sources, X-ray lasers
- Surface Physics: Basic ion - surface interaction processes (electron emission, sputtering, nano-structure formation), capillary guiding of ion beams, AFM/STM studies of ion-induced surface nanostructures, 2D-materials (graphene, hBN, MoS2, vdW-heterostructures)
- Astrophysics: Space Weathering
- Other Interests: Popularization of science
- More than 330 publications in international peer-reviewed journals (among them 23 Phys. Rev. Lett., 1 Nature Comm., 1 ACS Nano, 1 J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 1 Astrophys. J., 2 Appl. Phys. Lett., 1 Nano Letters etc.) and more than 75 invited talks at international conferences.
