Justin was a long-time fellow of the group and was mainly involved with nanofibres. Additionally he calculated a lot of reactive intermediates and theoretical SERS spectra. One of his main tasks was the administration and development of the institute's compute cluster, GOLEM.

We published quite a few journal articles:
