Dr. Thomas Hansen

Biography

Thomas Willum Hansen is a Professor in the field of Atomic-scale Materials Dynamics at the Technical University of Denmark. His research primarily focuses on the characterization of catalyst materials using aberration-corrected Environmental Transmission Electron Microscopy (ETEM) and advanced electron microscopy techniques. He is committed to training new users in ETEM and enhancing the operability of electron microscopes for various investigations of nanostructured materials. Hansen's work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in education and innovation. He completed his PhD at the Technical University of Denmark and has held several prestigious positions, including a postdoctoral role at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society. His significant research contributions include modeling optically active defects in two-dimensional materials and machine learning-assisted atomic-resolution electron microscopy. He actively participates in numerous conferences and workshops, sharing insights on photocatalysis and in-situ electron microscopy techniques.
