Andreas Limbeck is an expert in the field of atomic spectroscopy with more than 20 years’ experience in the development of advanced analytical procedures for the reliable determination of inorganic components in a wide range of technological, environmental as well as biological samples. In the last years, he developed advanced expertise in the application of LA-ICP-MS and LIBS for the spatially resolved chemical analysis of solid materials, in particular for the quantitative determination of elemental distributions in various materials. Since 2021 he is full professor for “Analytical Chemistry of Materials” at the Faculty of Technical Chemistry at TU Wien.
