Biography
Felix Gunkel is a young investigator based at Institute of Electronic Materials (IWE2) at RWTH Aachen University, Germany. His research interests comprise thermodynamics and solid state chemistry of complex oxides on the nanoscale. His current work addresses tailored functionality of crystal defects in oxides for nano-electronic devices, energy applications, and gas sensors.
With background is fundamental and applied physics, Dr. Gunkel started his scientific career at Institute of Solid State Physics, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Jülich, Germany in 2010. He received his PhD from the faculty of electronic engineering at RWTH Aachen University in 2013. After continuing his scientific work in his postdoctoral career at Stanford University and Forschungszentrum Jülich, he is now leading a research team at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, with a research focus of thermodynamic engineering of device properties and material functionality on the nanoscale.
