Prof. Benjamin Berkels is affiliated with the Aachen Institute for Advanced Study in Computational Engineering Science (AICES) at RWTH Aachen University. His research focuses on advanced image processing techniques tailored for electron microscopy data, including innovations in non-rigid registration, denoising algorithms, and multi-phase segmentation.

His work addresses critical challenges in atomic-scale imaging, such as sub-picometre precision measurements, leveraging crystalline periodicity through primitive unit cell extraction, and analyzing materials with discontinuous periodicity via high-dimensional feature vectors. These methods are being extended to hyperspectral data like EELS/EDX, demonstrating their applicability to complex material analyses.
