Research profile

Ulrich Vogt is a Professor in Applied Physics and leads an independent research group called X-ray optics and nanoimaging. He has supervised many PhD students and postdocs as main supervisor, as well as numerous Bachelor and Master thesis students.  He has been the principal investigator for several projects with the aim to develop novel diffractive x-ray optics, methods, and instrumentation for x-ray microscopy. Most noticeably, he had an in-kind contribution during the construction phase of the European XFEL which investigated the use of diamond zone plates to focus very intense x-ray beams. He is one of the two authors of the 110 MSEK proposal to build the NanoMAX beamline at the MAX IV synchrotron radiation facility and contributed over a long time to the design and commissioning of the beamline, especially the imaging endstation.  Lately, he received a Röntgen-Ångström Cluster grant and started to investigate multi-beam ptychography in different forms.
