Ute Kaiser received her Diploma in Crystallography, her PhD in Physics from the Humboldt University Berlin and her Habilitation in Experimental Physics from the Friedrich-Schiller University, Jena, Germany, in 2002. Since 2004 she is full professor at Ulm University in the Physics Department and Head of Ulm’s Materials Science Electron Microscopy Centre. Her research interests comprise the areas of TEM methods and instrumentation development, and applications; at present, her research activities are in the fields of battery, semiconductor, and catalysts materials. From 2009 till 2018 she was the Scientific Director of the SALVE (Sub Angstroem Low-Voltage Electron Microscopy) project to develop low-voltage transmission electron microscopy, including the development of the chromatic and spherical aberration-corrected instrument, sample preparation methods and contrast calculation at 20-80kV accelerating voltage. By means of this unique TEM instrument, she dedicates her work to unravel the crystallographic and electronic properties of low-dimensional materials. Ute Kaiser has more than 400 peer-reviewed articles, was „highly cited researcher“, is a frequently asked invited speaker at conferences and holds several honorary adjunct positions. She is currently the Physical-Sciences Editor for the Journal Micron.
