Welcome to the

We develop computational tools to enable new capabilities in electron and X-ray microscopes and apply them to challenging materials science questions.

Publication Highlights

We are an interdisciplinary research group based within the Department of Materials Science at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. We have expertise in condensed matter physics, deep learning, large-scale optimization, signal and image processing, and experimental design for advanced X-ray and electron microscopy experiments.

We are part of the Institute of Micro- and Nanostructure Research and the Center for Nanoanalysis and Electron Microscopy and part of the Competence Unit Engineering of Advanced Materials.
