Prof. dr. ing. Guus Rijnders (Chairman)

Guus Rijnders investigates complex materials, particularly those used in electronic devices. He focusses on the structure-property relation of atomically engineered complex (nano)materials, especially thin film ceramic oxides. As one of the leaders in the field of PLD, and a driving force of interface engineering, Rijnders is one of the few major researchers who openly addresses controversial topics in the field. He has also successfully brought PLD from the laboratory to industry as the co-founder of two companies.
