Randi Holmestad (born October 19, 1967)[1] is a professor of physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), specializing in materials physics with a focus on electrons. She researches microstructures in inorganic alloys, especially in the context of heat treatment and phase transformations.[2] Holmestad's work also extends into nanomaterials and catalysis, where her expertise in advanced electron microscopy techniques allows for precise structural analyses critical to developing innovative materials. In addition to her research, she has supervised doctoral students and contributed to NTNU’s Centre for Advanced Structural Analysis (CASA). She was elected to the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences in 2008.[3]
Early life and education
editHolmestad was born in Trondheim, Norway on October 19th, 1967. She graduated from University of Trondheim (NTNU) in 1991 majoring in Materials Physics, and received her PhD in the Department of Physics from the same school in 1994.[2] She carried out her postdoctoral work at the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH) 1994-1995, focusing on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) applications in materials science.[1]
Career
editResearcher, SINTEF Materials Technology, Applied Physics (1995–1996)
editHolmestad transitioned to SINTEF, one of Europe's largest independent research organizations, contributing to applied physics projects that bridged academia and industrial applications. Her work included materials analysis and innovative approaches in applied electron microscopy.
Postdoctoral Fellow (NFR), Electronic Structure of Intermetallic Alloys (1996–1999)
editDuring this period, Holmestad collaborated internationally, conducting research at NTNU, Arizona State University (ASU), and the Max Planck Institute (MPI). Her focus was on the electronic structure of intermetallic alloys, integrating computational and experimental techniques to advance understanding in this specialized area of materials science.
Professor, Department of Physics, NTNU (1999–present)
editHolmestad was appointed as a full professor at NTNU in 1999, where she has since led research and teaching in materials physics. Her work primarily involves advanced microscopy techniques to study precipitation processes in aluminum alloys[4], and she has published over 100 papers.[5]
Scientific Adviser, SINTEF Materials and Chemistry (2001–present)
editIn addition to her academic role, Holmestad continues to serve as a scientific adviser at SINTEF, furthering applied research in materials chemistry.
