Andreas Luttge
Andreas Lüttge is Professor of Earth Science and Professor of Chemistry at Rice University in Houston, Texas (USA). He was also director of the (NCC) until 2010.[1] The primary concerns of his research are surface chemical processes at minerals and rocks from low-temperature conditions up to the pressure and temperature conditions throughout the Earth's crust.
Andreas Luttge’s degrees are a Habilitation [venia legendi] (1995) and a PhD [Dr. rer. nat.] (1990) from the University of Tübingen (Germany). In 1995 the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation awarded a to Andreas Luttge to visit Yale University and to work with Prof. .[2]
Luttge published numerous studies about the surface dynamics of minerals, glasses and metals,[3] including investigations of microbial activity at interfaces.[4] He applies various experimental techniques using , Electron and Atomic Force Microscopy and modeling techniques like Monte Carlo and ab initio methods. Resulting quantitative kinetic rate data are key prerequisites to provide a better understanding of the dynamics governing many geologic and technologic processes.
