Dr Michael Schmidt is an Electron Microscopist at Tyndall National Institute where his main responsibilities include continual development, improvement and implementation of new sample preparation and analysis methods and techniques.
In 2015 he obtained his Ph.D. degree on the application of advanced electron microscopy on nanostructured material at Tyndall, University College Cork, Cork, Ireland.
He obtained his MSc degree in Physics in 1998 at the Otto-von-Guericke-University in Magdeburg, Germany, working on ‘Cathodoluminescence microscopy on GaN and thereof based group-III-nitrides’.
During 1999 to 2003, he was a research assistant at the Otto-von-Guericke-University in Magdeburg, at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle, mainly working on the characterization of Er doped Si nanocrystals embedded in SiOx, and at iLF e.V. in Magdeburg. After an excursion into entrepreneurship in the field of cellular nutrition in 2003/04, he worked as a Research Lab Engineer with the Photonic Nanostructures Group at Tyndall National Institute (formerly NMRC) 2004-08 and 2008-09 with the Phononic and Photonic Nanostructures Group at the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology (ICN) in Bellaterra, Spain.
