Christoph Gammer is group leader at the Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Leoben, Austria. His research focuses on the mechanical and functional properties of non-equilibrium materials, with a special focus on quantitative characterization techniques in the TEM. This includes the development of new in situ techniques to directly image the effect of structure on physical properties at the nanoscale. Christoph received a PhD degree in physics from the University of Vienna, Austria in 2011, working on nanostructured intermetallic alloys. He was subsequently a research fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he pioneered strain mapping during in situ deformation using 4D-STEM. In 2016 he moved to Leoben, where he started to work on more complex materials, such as metallic glasses. His numerous awards include the FWF START price and the Fritz-Grasenick Award of the Austrian Society for Electron Microscopy. He has presented more than 40 invited talks and authored over 100 scientific papers in the fields of transmission electron microscopy, nanostructured materials and metallic glasses.
