Benedikt Haas started his career in electron microscopy during his master project (physics) at Philipps-Universität in Marburg (Germany) in 2010/11, where he investigated organic semiconductors in the group of Kerstin Volz. He defended his PhD on method development for imaging and diffraction based quantitative STEM at the CEA Grenoble (France) under the supervision of Jean-Luc Rouvière in 2017. Afterwards, he did a postdoc in the group of Christoph Koch at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Germany) until 2020 where he has been a staff scientist in charge of the Nion HERMES microscope since, working on 4D-STEM as well as high-resolution EELS. Since 2023 he is PI of a project on "Pumping, Measuring and Modeling Atomic Vibrations in the Electron Microscope".
