Nadine Hauptmann’s research focusses on exploring correlated quantum phenomena in novel 2D material systems that are of high interest for future’s energy-efficient data storage and data processing technologies. During the past years, Hauptmann was most active world-wide in developing atomic-scale magnetic imaging based on simultaneous current and force detection.

Hauptmann received a post-doc fellowship from the German Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, an NWO Physics/f grant, and an ERC Starting grant. She was awarded the Nano-, Surface and Interface Sciences Award for nanophysics of the Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel (Germany).
