About me
Ulrike holds a BSc, MSc both from the Technical University of Berlin and a PhD in Geology and Palaeontology from the University of Kiel. With a research background of more than 15 years her expertise spans across a range of disciplines, including Environmental Sciences, Mining and Ore Petrology, as well as Petroleum Geology with a focus on Subsurface Gas Storage. Throughput her career she has gained extensive expertise in a broad range of analytical techniques and applications, such as GC, IC, ICP, XRD, XRF, and the imaging of samples via optical microscopy, while particularly specialising in Electron Microscopy.
In her current role Ulrike manages one of the University’s core research facilities, a state-of-the-art Electron Microscopy suite located on Mawson Lakes campus. This suite offers Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmitted Electron Microscopy (TEM) facilities, as well as a range of associated analytical equipment such as EBSD, EDX, SAD and STEM.
Ulrike works closely with researchers across the four strands of the Future Industries Institute (FII) - minerals, environment, biomaterials and energy, and is heavily involved in the training of new instrument users, including the delivery of outreach and undergraduate course content. She is well experienced in providing strategic insights into future research infrastructure needs, recommendations for and the drafting of equipment acquisition grants, as well as in assisting in the development and design of new or upgraded (imaging) lab facilities.
As part of her role she further monitors and reviews WHS performance, while implementing WHS improvements. This includes the completion of regular lab and building audits, the investigation of near misses and incidents, as well as the implementation of corrective actions. In doing so Ulrike provides WHS advice and guidance to UniSA STEM staff and students to ensure safe and healthy work environments.
