Biography

Kees Flipse is an Associate Professor in the Molecular Materials Nanosystems group at Eindhoven University of Technology. His research interests include electronic structure effects on the magnetic behavior of graphene and two-dimensional layered materials, spin selectivity effects in chiral thin films, and quantum fluid behavior in high-temperature superconductors with graphene. He is part of the European TAILSPIN consortium, which aims to utilize graphene for the development of spin-polarized switching quantum devices. This project is based on the discovery that hydrogenated graphene exhibits ferromagnetism at room temperature. Additionally, he has received a grant to continue his research on graphene, with the goal of verifying new theories related to high-temperature superconductors. Kees Flipse studied at Delft University of Technology, where he obtained his PhD in 1985. After working at Fokker for a year, he spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Free University of Amsterdam. In 1989, he became a senior lecturer at the Interdisciplinary Research Center for Surface Science at the University of Liverpool. He then joined Eindhoven University of Technology as an Assistant Professor in the Surface Science group and became an Associate Professor in 2001.
