Short Biography

Swart focusses on creating and characterizing atomically well-defined materials. His group is world-leading in the formation of artificial electron lattices and the first electronic fractal was realized in this group. Swart is the recipient of an NWO Veni (2011) and ERC Consolidator grant (2019). In 2017, he won the ‘Best young teacher of Utrecht University’ award (one prize for the whole university (30,000+ students)).
