Dr. Marijn Van Huis

Biography

Marijn van Huis is a full professor at Utrecht University in the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science, specializing in Electron Microscopy and Nanomaterials. His expertise includes transmission electron microscopy (TEM), density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and the experimental simulation of nanoparticles and nanocrystals. He focuses on understanding the structural and chemical transformations of nanoparticles synthesized under wet chemical conditions. His current research aims to identify and develop the physical mechanisms involved in manipulating heterogeneous nanostructures. He performs experiments using in-situ TEM to monitor chemical transformations and self-assembly processes. His research significantly contributes to the understanding of nanoscale transformations, providing critical insights into structure-property relationships and enabling the design of new nanostructures with novel functionalities, facilitating the transition to a sustainable society.
