Rafal E. Dunin-Borkowski

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^[1] and several awards for Science as Art.^[2]^[3]
