Armin Feldhoff is currently Extraordinary Professor at Leibniz University Hannover (Germany) and holds the venia legendi for Physical Chemistry. He is past chair of the Energy Materials and Systems Division of The American Ceramic Society.

He acted as the lead organizer for the symposium “Energy Materials for Sustainable Development” at MS&T’21, Materials Science and Technology (combined annual meeting of five societies including The American Ceramic Society), and continued to be co-organizer of the symposium at future MS&T meetings (MS&T’22, MS&T’23). Dr. Feldhoff was lead organizer of the focused session “Materials for Thermoelectrics” at ICAAC’21 and co-organizer of the focused session at ICAAC’22. He is co-organizer of the focused session “Materials for Thermoelectric and Thermionic Energy Conversion” at ICAAC’23, the 47th International Conference and Expo on Advanced Ceramics and Composites. Dr. Feldhoff was member of the Programming Committee of EHS 2019, EHS 2021 and continued with EHS 2022, the 5th Annual Energy Harvesting Society Meeting, organized through The American Ceramic Society.

Dr. Feldhoff is acting as Guest Editor of the Journal of the American Ceramic Society for a special issue on Energy Materials to be published in late 2022. He is Associate Editor of several journals: Elektronenmikroskopie (S. Hirzel, German Society of Electron Microscopy, since 2012), Energy Harvesting & Systems (de Gryuter, since 2013), the Journal of Electronic Materials (Springer Nature, since 2015), and he is editorial board member of Entropy (MDPI, since 2020).

Dr. Feldhoff received his diploma in physics from the University of Münster (Germany) and his PhD degree from the Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (Germany) for which he was awarded the Luther Medal. He was pre- and post-doctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Germany). He was postdoctoral associate at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University in Ithaca (NY, USA) and at the Centre d’Études de Chimie Métallurgique of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Vitry sur Seine (France). He is head of the Electron Microscopy Laboratory at the Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry of the Leibniz University Hannover (Germany).

His research interests are in physical chemistry of materials with focus on thermo-iono-electric (TIE) materials for energy conversion and separation technologies. He has published over 200 peer-reviewed journal papers covering these topics.
