The University of Twente, the Netherlands
Prof. Guus Rijnders is a professor at the University of Twente, the Netherlands. He obtained his Ph.D. on October 31, 2001, on “Initial growth of complex oxides: study and manipulation”. In 2001 he became an assistant professor at the Low-Temperature Division, Applied Physics, University of Twente. In 2003 he switched to the Inorganic Materials Science group and since 2006 he was an associate professor in this group. As of April 1st, 2010 he is a full professor in nanoelectronic materials at the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology, University of Twente. As from 2015, he is Scientific Director of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology
The research of Prof Guus Rijnders focuses on the structure-property relation of atomically engineered complex (nano)materials, especially thin film oxides, mostly used for electronic and sensing devices. The class of investigated materials includes, amongst others, ferromagnetic, superconducting, ferroelectric as well as piezoelectric materials. In recent years, he started new research directions in the field of functional and smart materials, such as piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials, and their integration with electronic and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), Si-CMOS and III-V technologies.
