Jürgen T. Kohlhepp

Jürgen T. Kohlhepp is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research focuses on nanomagnetism, spintronics, surface science, and advanced material characterization techniques, including molecular beam epitaxy and plasma sputter deposition under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. He has explored magnetic interlayer/interface interactions and spin-polarized transport in metallic multilayers and hybrid systems, recently expanding to plasma science topics.
