Bodil Holst

Bodil Holst is a Danish physicist known for her work on nanoscale imaging, material characterisation and mask based lithography using molecular beams.[1][2][3][4][5] Other research areas include smart surfaces [6][7] and plant fibre identification. [8][9] She is a professor in the department of physics and technology at the University of Bergen in Norway.[10]

Education and career

Holst is the grand-daughter of Danish physician Gudrun Brun (1906–1993), the first woman to become a chief physician in Copenhagen.[2] She earned a doctorate at the University of Cambridge in England in 1997,[11] and was a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Fluid Dynamics in Göttingen, Germany and at the Graz University of Technology in Austria. On the verge of giving up her academic career, she came to the University of Bergen in 2007, funded by a recruitment grant from the Trond Mohn Foundation.[1]

Books

Holst is the author of the self-published book Scientific Paper Writing: A Survival Guide (2015), illustrated by Jorge Cham.[12] With Gianangelo Bracco, she is the co-editor of the book Surface Science Techniques (Springer, 2013).
