About Us – Team & Scientific Background
Dr. Tillmann Viefhaus holds a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from the
University of Stuttgart. For over 25 years, he has been a pioneer in the application of Raman and IR microspectroscopy for industrial, scientific, and cultural heritage
applications.
His expertise spans:
- Organometallic chemistry (Schlenk technique)
-
Physical chemistry (solid oxide fuel cell ceramics, solid-state
NMR) - Organic chemistry (ionic liquids)
- Corrosion science
- Geoscience and mineral analysis
- Industrial applications (automotive, energy)
- Cultural heritage preservation
- Forensic analysis
- Portable analytical systems development
As a fellow of the federally funded EXIST program, he developed advanced Raman-based analytical methods at the Institute of Mineralogy and Crystal Chemistry, University of Stuttgart. Since 2011,
he has led ViefhausAnalytik TGU, offering customized, non-destructive material analysis and the development of portable Raman systems.
He is also the developer of custom software solutions for spectral data evaluation and database-driven material identification.
