Florian Banhart

Florian Banhart is a Professor of Physics at the University of Strasbourg, affiliated with the Department of Surfaces and Interfaces (DSI) at IPCMS. His research focuses on electron microscopy in materials science, particularly in-situ experiments, ultrafast electron microscopy, and the study of carbon nanomaterials.

• Education: Master in Physics (Diplom) from the University of Stuttgart (1985), PhD in Physics from the University of Stuttgart (1988).

Research Interests include

• Ultrafast transmission electron microscopy
• Low-dimensional nanomaterials (1D/2D)
• Carbon nanomaterials (graphene, nanotubes, carbyne)
• Electron irradiation effects on materials
• Nanoscale phase transformations and defects

Publication Trends emphasize electron microscopy techniques for studying dynamic processes in nanomaterials, with a focus on ultrafast imaging, carbon-based systems, and metal-carbon interactions.

Awards include Senior Membership in the Institut Universitaire de France (2014) and a Fellowship at the University of Strasbourg's USIAS (2017).

Labs: Conducts research at IPCMS (Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Materials Strasbourg), contributing to projects like the Equipex UTEM ultrafast electron microscopy initiative.
