Technical University in Lyngby/Copenhagen, he returned to EPFL, where he
received the Latsis Award 1996 for his studies on the epitaxial growth of thin
films and on the self-assembly of nanostructures at surfaces. In 1998 he got
his venia legendi and was nominated Reader in Nanophysics. After having
received an offer for a chair (C4) at the Philipps University of Marburg,
EPFL nominated him in 1999 Associate Professor and appointed him Full
