معرفی
Prof. Dr. Christoph Stampfer is a full professor and director of the II. Institute of Physics (Institute 2A) at RWTH Aachen University, affiliated with the Department of Physics and the Materials Science & Engineering (MatSE) profile area. He leads the 2D Materials and Quantum Devices Group, focusing on experimental physics in graphene and 2D materials. He is also a key developer of the educational app phyphox, promoting innovative physics education.
His research interests include condensed matter physics, quantum devices, spintronics, and nanoelectronics, with a focus on transport properties in graphene-boron nitride heterostructures and spin dynamics. He also pioneers smartphone-based physics experiments for education, leveraging mobile sensors for accessible, hands-on learning.
His recent publications reflect a dual focus: cutting-edge research in Physical Review B and educational innovations in journals like Physics Education and European Journal of Physics. Themes include quantum phenomena in 2D materials, DIY sensor integration, and collaborative classroom experiments using mobile technology.

Stampfer actively supervises a large group of PhD and master’s students, including Hubert Dulisch, David Emmerich, and Katrin Hecker. His group collaborates on both fundamental research and educational outreach. He has received multiple grants supporting digital teaching and experimental physics. The phyphox project, in particular, has been widely adopted in schools and universities, supported by workshops and teacher trainings he co-organizes. The group operates advanced nanofabrication and low-temperature measurement facilities for quantum device research.
