Biography

Bernd Rieger is a professor in the Faculty of Applied Sciences at Delft University of Technology, Netherlands. He earned his M.Sc. degree in physics from Technische Universität München, Germany, in 1999, followed by a Ph.D. in image processing from Delft University of Technology in 2004. Rieger's postdoctoral research was conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany, under the supervision of Dr. Tom Jovin. Between 2005 and 2010, he worked at FEI Electron Optics in Eindhoven, Netherlands, and in 2006, he joined the Department of Imaging Physics at TU Delft as a part-time member. He began his tenure track as an assistant professor and was awarded tenure in 2010, later being promoted to associate professor in 2014, and appointed as a full professor in 2017. His research interests include Computational Microscopy, which merges imaging physics with image processing, specifically applied in the fields of light and electron microscopy, with a focus on applications in the life sciences at the biomolecular level.
