Instrument Technology

About

Our group focuses on advancing techniques, methods and instrumentation in electron microscopy to explore fundamental physics and material properties. We develop cutting-edge tools for high-resolution electric and magnetic field mapping, structured electron wavefront shaping, electron interferometry and ultrafast dynamic studies.

By designing novel experimental workflows and instruments, we push the boundaries of in situ, analytical and quantum electron microscopy, enabling discoveries beyond conventional approaches.

Research Topics

  • High-resolution mapping of electric and magnetic fields inside and outside specimens and devices with the highest spatial resolution and sensitivity.
  • Electron wavefront modulation using structured electromagnetic fields, programmable phase plates and structured light.
  • Analytical in situ electron microscopy of materials studied in liquid and gas phases.
  • Time-resolved studies of ultrafast magnetic, structural and spin transitions in materials and devices.
  • Instrument design and development to enable new experimental workflows in electron microscopy.
  • Studies of fundamental quantum phenomena using electron interferometry and light-electron-matter interactions.
