معرفی
Dr. Machteld Kamminga is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University, affiliated with the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science within the Faculty of Science. Her research focuses on condensed matter physics, quantum materials, and advanced material characterization using techniques like neutron scattering and chemical synthesis. She joined Utrecht University in February 2023 as part of the QuMat (Materials for the Quantum Age) program.
Education: PhD in Materials Chemistry (cum laude, University of Groningen, 2018), followed by postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford (Rubicon Grant, NWO) and the University of Copenhagen (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship).
Research interests include intercalation mechanisms in layered materials, high-temperature superconductors, and quantum material design. She employs neutron scattering and light/X-ray techniques to probe material properties. Current projects involve tuning magnetic properties of van der Waals materials and exploring nanocritical phenomena in magnetic nanoparticles.
Teaching: Involved in courses such as the Bachelor thesis in Chemistry, Magnetic Materials, and Solids and Surfaces. Awards include the Rubicon Research Grant and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship.
Grants and advising: Her research is supported by prestigious grants, and she actively contributes to the QuMat initiative, focusing on quantum-age materials development.
