Martien den Hertog

Martien den Hertog is a permanent CNRS Researcher at the Institut Neel in Grenoble, France. She holds an MSc in Chemistry and Physics from the University of Utrecht (2005) and a PhD from Universite Joseph Fourier (2009).

Her research focuses on structure-property relations in semiconducting nanowires using advanced techniques like Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), off-axis electron holography, and in-situ biasing experiments. She specializes in correlating electrical and structural properties at the nanoscale.

Notable contributions include:

• Developing cryogenic in-situ TEM methods to detect single charges in devices
• Improving contact quality in nanowires for precise electrical measurements
• Quantitative analysis of doping concentrations and polarization fields

She has supervised multiple PhD students and secured competitive funding, including an ERC Starting Grant (e-See) and an ANR young researcher project (COSMOS).
