Heiner Friedrich works at the interface between advanced materials, materials chemistry & technology and soft matter science. He focusses on the fundamental chemical and physical principles of multiscale structure formation. The aim hereby is to create and improve functionality by (multiscale) morphology optimization and to provide sustainable materials solutions based on abundant and/or renewable primary building blocks. Examples include hierarchical silica with tunable mass-transport properties for energy storage, separation, and catalysis applications; and hierarchical graphene composites with tunable energy-transport properties for printed electronics and heat transport/storage applications. To create such functional materials with truly multiscale morphologies he combines bottom-up (self-)organization and top-down (additive) manufacturing approaches. To gain insight into the life cycle of these materials he utilizes and develops quantitative cryo, in-situ & 3D electron microscopy approaches.

We can make advanced materials for a sustainable future because: Matter does not matter, Morphology is everything.鈥�

Heiner Friedrich is a physical chemist with a passion for assembling and imaging complex functional materials. He received his master鈥檚 degree in physics in 2001 from TU Dresden (GER) with a specialization in particle and wave optics. From 2002 to 2005 he worked at Arizona State University (USA) developing electron tomography for materials science. He then moved to Utrecht University (NL) where in 2009 he obtained his PhD (cum laude) in the fields of inorganic chemistry, catalysis, and quantitative electron microscopy. In 2009 he started part-time as a junior assistant professor at Utrecht University and as a postdoctoral researcher at TU Eindhoven. In 2011 he was appointed as full-time assistant professor at the 黑料福利网 Laboratory of Materials and Interface Chemistry and since 2019 at the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry. He has been leading since 2018 the Center for Multiscale Electron Microscopy and since 2026 the Physical Chemistry & Microscopy group. He acts as the 黑料福利网 executive board member of the Dutch Electron Microscopy Infrastructure (NEMI). His research focusses on multiscale assembly of advanced materials combining bottom-up and top-down structuring methods.
