Prof. Dr. Armin Feldhoff

Prof. Armin Feldhoff is head of the Electron Microscopy Laboratory at the Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry of the Leibniz University Hannover and holds the venia legendi for Physical Chemistry. His research interests are in thermo-iono-electric (TIE) materials for energy conversion. His activities link materials synthesis with the microstructure, as obtained by scanning and transmission electron microscopy as well as x-ray diffraction, and functionality. Aim is always a knowledge-based approach to bring new functionality into materials and devices.

Armin Feldhoff received his diploma in physics from the University of Münster (Germany) and his PhD degree from the Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (Germany). He was pre- and post-doctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Germany). He was postdoctoral associate at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University in Ithaca (NY, USA) and at the Centre d’Études de Chimie Métallurgique of the CNRS in Vitry sur Seine (France).

He has published more than 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals. He has more than 14,000 citations with an h-index of 62 and an i10-index of 160. He has been the 2019-2021 inaugural chair of the Energy Materials and Systems Division of the American Ceramic Society. In the German Society for Electron Microscopy, he is serving in the editorial team of Electron Microscopy. He is editorial board member of Entropy with MDPI and serves as Guest Editor for 200 Years Anniversary Special Issue of “Sadi Carnot, Réflexions Sur La Puissance Motrice Du Feu”. As Associate Editor of the Journal of Electronic Materials with Springer Nature, he handled more than 200 manuscripts. Since 2023, he has been Associate Editor of the Journal of the American Ceramic Society. He is the recipient of the D.T. Rankin Award and has been recognized as a Global Ambassador of the American Ceramic Society.
