Albert Polman, professor of nanophotonics and photovoltaics at UvA and AMOLF group leader, has received an Advanced Research Grant of 2.5 million euros from the European Research Council. Polman will use the grant to develop a new type of quantum electron microscope. This is the third time Polman receives the Advanced Research Grant; he was also a recipient in 2010 and 2016. The present application was submitted through the Dutch Research Council (NWO). In the awarded project, Polman will use intense laser pulses to tailor the energy spectrum of high-energy electrons in a scanning electron microscope.
