This presentation starts by exploring the evolution and fundamentals of Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM), highlighting its journey from mass measurement by Sauerbrey to the advanced capabilities of EQCM-D. It delves into the understanding of layers and cumulative effects on QCM measurements, addressing the challenges posed by rigid, viscoelastic, and porous materials. The presentation further explains how to interpret QCM measurements using electrical signals and advanced modeling techniques. It emphasizes the importance of electrochemistry as a method, covering its applications in batteries, corrosion prevention, and more, while introducing basic electrochemical measurement techniques and key methods such as Cyclic Voltammetry, Galvanostatic cycling, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy.

Currently a PhD candidate at Uppsala University under the supervision of Prof. Erik J. Berg. He received his master's degree from KU Leuven Technology campus Ghent in 2021 during which he investigated the fluid dynamics of spiral jet mills using Computational Fluid Dynamics or CFD modeling. His current research focuses on studying interfacial processes during metal plating for energy storage by combining EQCM-D, automation, machine learning, and advanced modeling techniques for QCM-D such as Hydrodynamic Spectroscopy and FreqD-LBM.
