Rafal Edward Dunin-Borkowski (born 1969) is a British experimental physicist. He is currently Director of the Institute for Microstructure Research (PGI-5) and the Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C) in Forschungszentrum Jülich and Professor of Experimental Physics in RWTH Aachen University.

Education

Rafal Dunin-Borkowski was educated at the University of Cambridge where he was awarded a PhD in 1994 for research into semiconductors.

Research

His research involves the development of quantitative techniques in electron microscopy and has recently focused on the use of off-axis electron holography to study magnetic and electrostatic fields in nanoscale materials, thin films and devices.^{[1][2] [3][4][5][6][7][8]}

Awards and honours

He received the Ernst Ruska Prize 2009, jointly with M R McCartney and T Kasama^[9] and several awards for Science as Art.^[10][11]

Family

• His maternal grandfather was Stefan Soboniewski.
• His paternal grandfather was Sławomir Dunin-Borkowski.
