Electron- And Atom-probe-microscopy Domain Specialist For FAIRmat (German NFDI)
Leichlingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarkus Kühbach is an Electron- and Atom-Probe-Microscopy domain specialist with a decade of experience building scalable data-analysis tools and research data infrastructure for experimental materials science within Germany's NFDI/FAIRmat initiative. He combines deep domain knowledge in atom probe tomography and cryo-electron microscopy with hands-on software development to enable strong-scaling workflows that help scientists link micro- and atomic-scale structure to material properties. His career spans academic postdoctoral roles at Max-Planck institutes and a PhD from RWTH Aachen, where he worked on parallelized recrystallization microstructure modeling. Markus is skilled at aligning experimental workflows with FAIR data stewardship and has applied machine learning to large 3D serial-section datasets—bringing computational rigor to traditionally lab-centered techniques. Based in Leichlingen, Germany, he is known for bridging research software engineering and domain expertise to make complex microscopy data more reproducible and actionable.
