Bio: Jörg F. Löffler has been Professor at the Department of Materials, ETH Zurich, since July 2003. Starting as Assistant Professor, in 2007 he was elected Full Professor of Metal Physics and Technology. He currently serves as Chairman of the Department of Materials (2025 – 2027), resuming office after a first term in 2010 – 2013.
Born in Germany in 1969, Jörg Löffler studied Physics and Materials Science at Saarland University. He then transferred to the Paul Scherrer Institute and ETH Zurich, where he earned his doctorate in the magnetism of nanostructured materials and neutron scattering (1997). Löffler then took up a post at the California Institute of Technology as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow, where he worked with Prof. William L. Johnson in the area of bulk metallic glasses. In 2001 he was appointed tenure-track Assistant Professor at the University of California, Davis, where he stayed until his appointment to ETH Zurich in 2003.
The principal areas of Jörg Löffler’s research are the synthesis and characterization of novel nanostructured and amorphous materials; magnetic, structural, and thermophysical properties on the nanoscale; the use of metals for medical applications (in particular bioresorbable implants); and neutron scattering and synchrotron radiation.
