Roland Bliem

Roland Bliem is a Group Leader at ARCNL since February 2019, overseeing the Materials and Surface Science group, which investigates fundamental physical and chemical processes at surfaces relevant to nanolithography and the development of new materials for EUV lithography. Concurrently, Roland serves as an Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam's Institute of Physics. Previous experience includes a Postdoctoral Researcher role at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, focusing on the electrochemical stability of perovskite surfaces, and another Postdoctoral position at Technische Universität Wien, which continued PhD research on single-atom catalysis. Roland holds a Dr. techn. in Experimental Surface Physics and a Master’s in Physics from Technische Universität Wien, complemented by early internships in computational materials science and development roles in the wheel loader industry.
