The Gollas Group is interested in charge transfer reactions at solid/liquid interfaces. Research activities extend from fundamental studies of electrode reactions to the electrodeposition of novel materials and applications in the fields of industrial electroplating and electrochemical energy storage and conversion.
Bernhard Gollas studied chemistry at the University of Tübingen and the University of Oregon, where he worked on the electrochemistry of cyclophane ruthenium complexes. He received his PhD in 1996 from the University of Tübingen for his work in the field of molecular electrochemistry and modified electrodes. As a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Electrochemistry Group at the University of Southampton, he developed hyphenated electrochemical methods and studied the templated electrodeposition and properties of mesoporous metal films. Bernhard moved to Austria and joined the Chemistry Faculty at the Graz University of Technology as Assistant Professor developing novel coatings for industrial applications in collaboration with the Centre for Electrochemical Surface Technology. From 2001 until 2014 he held various positions in the Centre and acted as Scientific Spokesperson from 2009 until 2010. Since 2009 he is an Associate Professor of Electrochemistry and Applied Inorganic Chemistry at the Graz University of Technology. He is the author or co-author of over 50 refereed journal publications. Apart from his membership in the International Society of Electrochemistry, where he served as Regional Representative of Austria from 2016 to 2021, Bernhard is also active in The Electrochemical Society, the Gesellschaft Österreichischer Chemiker, the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh), the Division Electrochemistry of the GDCh, and the Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry.
