Juliane Weber

Juliane Weber is a R&D staff member in the Geochemistry and Interfacial Sciences Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Since completing her Ph.D. in geochemistry in 2017 (RWTH Aachen University, Germany), she was a postdoctoral researcher in the Geochemistry and Interfacial Sciences Group at ORNL from 2017-2019, and an associate staff scientist at the Kuiper Materials Imaging and Characterization Facility of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona from 2019-2020. She was an associate R&D staff member at ORNL from 2020-2024.

Her expertise includes experimental geochemistry including liquid and solid characterization and their application to dynamic mesoscale processes in solutions and at fluid-solid surfaces. Her expertise in characterization methods include neutron/X-ray scattering , atom probe tomography, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Her research is focused on the influence of microstructure and porosity on reaction kinetics and transport at fluid-solid interfaces, in natural and engineered geomaterials, with the goal of upscaling molecular-scale reaction mechanisms to predict macroscopic transport of contaminants. 

Juliane Weber is PI of a BES MSE project focused on stability of amorphous materials: https://www.ornl.gov/project/factors-controlling-stability-hydrated-amorphous-material-formed-solution-interfaces
