Hi, my name is Moritz Senger, I study physics at the Freie Universität Berlin . My diploma thesis is about light-driven hydrogen production.

We are trying to couple modules of the photosynthetic electron transport chain, namely PSI, to hydrogenase proteins that are capable to reduce protons to molecular hydrogen. Techniques used are Surface Enhanced Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy (SEIRAS) and Protein Film Electrochemistry (PFE) to follow the binding processes and track the photoactivity of the film, respectively.
