Bodil Holst

Bodil Holst is a Professor at the University of Bergen's Department of Physics and Technology, specializing in surface science and scientific instrumentation development. Her research spans 2D materials, helium atom scattering, and archaeometry applications.

She leads projects like Nanometer-Resolution Matter-Wave Lithography (FET-Open), 2D Material Properties (NFR FRIPRO), and Wind Turbine Erosion Prevention (Equinor). Her Nanophysics Group has produced groundbreaking work on graphene's temperature-dependent rigidity and icephobic surfaces.

• First neutral helium microscope images (2008)
• Recorded bending rigidity of 2D materials (2018-2021)
• Developed solid-state conversion techniques for sapphire (2017-2021)

Her teaching innovations in classical mechanics explore retrieval practice and digital learning structure, documented in Physics Education and Physical Review Physics Education Research.
