About the Author
Izabella Brand is researcher at the University of
Oldenburg, Germany. She studied chemistry at the University of Warsaw, Poland. In 2001, she obtained a Ph.
D. degree at the University of Warsaw. In 2002 and
2003, she worked in the group of Jacek Lipkowski at
the University of Guelph, Canada. Since 2005, she
works in the group of Gunther Wittstock at the University of Oldenburg. Electrochemistry of modified electrode surfaces is the focal point of her research.
Modifications of electrode surfaces with biomimetic
assemblies and their bioelectrochemical examinations
constitute an important part of her research activities.
She combines surface modification strategies with electrochemical,
spectroscopic,
and
in
situ
spectroelectrochemical examination of potentialdependent changes in supramolecular assemblies on
electrode surfaces. The modification of surfaces aims
at the fabrication of thin 2D films as well as 3D structures. Using electrochemical techniques she investigates
potential-driven changes in both redox-inactive and
redox-active films adsorbed on electrode surfaces. To
reference potential-driven processes to the composition,
structure, and packing of molecules adsorbed on the
electrode surface, she combines electrochemistry with
infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy. She teaches
physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and surface
science at the University of Oldenburg at undergraduate
and graduate levels.
