Kleibert studied physics at the University of Rostock (Germany), earning his Ph.D. in 2006. His career at PSI began as a postdoc in 2008, later assuming a beamline scientist role in 2010 and becoming a tenured staff scientist in 2013. He is a reviewer for funding agencies like Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the European Science Foundation and serves as a referee for journals such as Nature Communications and Physical Review Letters.
His research focuses on nanoparticle magnetism, including metastable magnetism and non-collinear spin structures in 3d transition metal nanoparticles. He employs techniques like x-ray photoemission electron microscopy (XPEEM), soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and soft x-ray ptychography to study nanoscale properties in applications ranging from catalysis to spintronics. His work also involves developing synchrotron measurement infrastructure, such as near ambient pressure photoemission and advanced x-ray optics.
Kleibert’s publications highlight trends in ultrafast magnetism, spin-ice dynamics, hydrogen spillover in catalysis, and nanomagnet design. He has contributed to understanding metastable structural modifications in nanoparticles and their impact on magnetic properties, alongside exploring all-electric control in planar logic gates.
No scientific awards or honors are explicitly mentioned in the text. Kleibert oversees the Surface/Interface: Microscopy beamline at the Swiss Light Source, supporting research in soft x-ray microscopy and spectroscopy for both fundamental and applied science.
