Rafal E. Dunin-Borkowski
Encyclopedia
Prof. Rafal E. Dunin-Borkowski (born 1969) is a British experimental physicist
. He is currently Director of the Institute for Microstructure Research (PGI-5) and the Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C)
in Forschungszentrum Jülich and Professor of Experimental Physics in RWTH Aachen University. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Technical University of Denmark
.
His research involves the development of quantitative techniques in electron microscopy and has recently focused on the use of off-axis electron holography
to study magnetic and electrostatic fields in nanoscale materials, thin films and devices. He received the Ernst Ruska Prize 2009, jointly with M R McCartney and T Kasama and several awards for Science as Art.
Physicist
A physicist is a scientist who studies or practices physics. Physicists study a wide range of physical phenomena in many branches of physics spanning all length scales: from sub-atomic particles of which all ordinary matter is made to the behavior of the material Universe as a whole...

Technical University of Denmark
The Technical University of Denmark , often simply referred to as DTU, is a university just north of Copenhagen, Denmark. It was founded in 1829 at the initiative of Hans Christian Ørsted as Denmark's first polytechnic, and is today ranked among Europe's leading engineering institutions, and the...

Holography
Holography is a technique that allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that when an imaging system is placed in the reconstructed beam, an image of the object will be seen even when the object is no longer present...
