Dr. Nadine Hauptmann
Assistant Professor
Assistant Professor
Nadine Hauptmann is an assistant professor (tenured) in the SPM department at the Institute for Molecules and Materials since summer 2019. Her research focus is to understand atomic-scale electronic and magnetic properties of novel quantum phases in low-dimensional (van der Waals) materials. She uses a combination of high-resolution scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopy to probe localized charges and spins at the surface of low-dimensional materials including insulating material phases. After her PhD, Nadine joined the SPM department in 2014. She received a Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship from the German Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in 2015. During her fellowship time in the SPM department, she developed a world-wide unique combination of spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy with magnetic exchange force microscopy (SPEX), which probes independently the geometric, electronic and magnetic structure for both conducting and insulating surfaces. She has been awarded with the Kiel Nano, Surface and Interface Sciences Award for Nanophysics in 2014. She received an ERC Starting Grant in 2020.
