Philip Hofmann is an experimental condensed matter physicist and Professor at Aarhus University, Denmark, where he serves as Scientific Director of the synchrotron radiation source ASTRID2. He received his Ph.D. from the Fritz Haber Institute in Germany in 1994, working on surface structural determination using X-ray photoelectron diffraction. His current research focuses on time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) of quantum materials, with an emphasis on high spatial resolution studies of functional devices under non-equilibrium conditions, bridging ARPES and transport approaches. He also pursues X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and diffraction at free-electron lasers, extending these techniques into the ultrafast regime.
