R. Reifenberger works in experimental physics focused on atomic force microscopy (AFM), a technique that uses a tiny probe to measure and image surfaces at the nanoscale. Recent work spans both fundamental AFM method development (like subsurface imaging and improved cantilever sensitivity) and applied studies on how nanoparticles interact with and release from protective clothing fabrics, relevant to workplace safety and exposure risk.
