Rate My Professor Bernd Rieger

His research interests focus on computational microscopy, integrating imaging physics and image processing for light and electron microscopy, particularly in life sciences at the biomolecular level. Rieger has advanced super-resolution techniques, including single-molecule localization microscopy and related image analysis methods. He has received major awards such as the NWO Talent fellowship in 2004 for Quantitative Imaging for Molecular Biology, the ERC Consolidator grant in 2015 for Optical nanoscopy at 1 nm resolution: far-field fluorescence control at cryogenic temperatures, and the NWO VICI grant in 2019 for Ultra-resolution with visible light. Prominent publications include Measuring Image Resolution in Optical Nanoscopy (Nature Methods, 2013), Fast, single-molecule localization that achieves theoretically minimum uncertainty (Nature Methods, 2010), Super-resolution fight club: A broad assessment of 2D & 3D single-molecule localization microscopy software (Nature Methods, 2019), Localization microscopy at doubled precision with patterned illumination (Nature Methods, 2020), and Simultaneous orientation and 3D localization microscopy with a Vortex point spread function (Nature Communications, 2021). These works have significantly influenced advancements in optical nanoscopy and high-resolution imaging.
