Welcome!

Prof. Knut Müller-Caspary becomes new CeNS member

 

Knut Müller-Caspary has recently been appointed as a W2 Professor for Transmission Electron Microscopy of Nanostructures, at LMU's Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy. After his PhD on "Transmission electron microscopy of semiconductor nanostructures using ab-initio structure factors for strain-relaxed supercells" and a subsequent postdoctoral period at Bremen University, he moved to the renown Institute for Electron Microscopy in Materials Science (EMAT) at the Universiteit Antwerpen in Belgium in 2016. In 2018, he became group leader of the moreSTEM group within the framework of a Helmholtz Young Investigator Group fellowship at Forschungszentrum Jülich, dedicated to multidimensional ultrafast TEM, and joined the RWTH Aachen Physics Faculty as a (junior) professor in 2019.

Müller-Caspary's TEM experience covers the fields of quantitative aberration-corrected TEM and STEM, electron diffraction and spectroscopy as well as simulation and methodological developments. His recent research interests focus on the development and application of multidimensional (S)TEM for

• Electrical characterisation of functional nanostructures at subatomic scales
• In-situ heating and biasing experiments at atomic resolution
• High-contrast imaging of soft and biological matter at low-doses
• Phase retrieval by electron ptychography and artificial intelligence.
