Scientific career
Since 1997 | Professor of Experimental Physics (Ordinarius) at the Department of Physics at the Universität Basel, Switzerland |
1992 - 1995 | IBM Research Center Zurich, Switzerland |
1990 | Dr. phil. nat. on force microscopy with ionic crystals and layered materials at the Universität Basel |
Research areas
His research is focused on the advancement of scanning probe microscopy. The interaction mechanisms of non-contact and contact force microscopy are investigated. Special emphasis is made on the dissipation mechanisms on the nanometer scale, where phenomena, such as atomic stick-slip are investigated.
