Felix Haake
Felix Haake is a scholar and practitioner known for contributions at the intersection of materials science, engineering research, and cultural institutions. He has engaged with academic laboratories, industrial collaborations, and museum projects, forging links between Max Planck Society, Fraunhofer Society, and university departments across Europe. Haake's career spans experimental methodology, interdisciplinary curation, and policy advisory roles that connect technical innovation with public dissemination.
Haake was born and raised in Germany and undertook formal studies that connected Technical University of Munich, RWTH Aachen University, and other European centers of science. His formative training included coursework and apprenticeships associated with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, University of Stuttgart, and exchanges involving Imperial College London and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. He completed advanced degrees that engaged laboratory rotations at institutes connected to the German Research Foundation and the Humboldt Foundation, while participating in seminars at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and attending conferences hosted by the European Research Council.
Haake held positions within university departments and transdisciplinary centers, collaborating with units at the University of Cambridge, Technische Universität Berlin, and the University of Oxford. He contributed to initiatives funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and worked alongside scientists from the Paul Scherrer Institute and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His appointments included roles in research groups linked to the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering FEP and consulting engagements with industrial research divisions at Siemens, BASF, and Bosch. Haake also engaged with cultural institutions such as the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and the Victoria and Albert Museum when projects required technical expertise for conservation science and exhibition design.
Haake's research emphasized experimental techniques in surface analysis, characterization of thin films, and diagnostic imaging applied to heritage objects and advanced materials. He published work that interfaced with methodologies from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research and the Paul Scherrer Institute, employing instrumentation analogous to that of European Synchrotron Radiation Facility facilities and electron microscopes similar to those at the National Center for Electron Microscopy. Collaborative projects connected his group with researchers at the ETH Zurich, University of Cambridge Cavendish Laboratory, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He participated in multinational consortia alongside teams from the Wellcome Trust, European Molecular Biology Laboratory, and the British Museum to adapt imaging workflows for both scientific samples and museum collections. His contributions included development of protocols that drew on techniques pioneered at the Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and experimental approaches compared with standards from the International Council of Museums. Haake's methodological advances often bridged practice from the Institute of Physics and standards used by the International Union of Crystallography.
Interdisciplinary outputs linked Haake to scholars at the Courtauld Institute of Art and to engineers at Technische Universität Darmstadt, integrating spectroscopic methods inspired by researchers at the California Institute of Technology and theoretical frameworks used at the University of Cambridge Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy. His collaborative network extended to project partners within the European Commission research programs and to stakeholders in the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Haake received distinctions and grants from national and international bodies including awards and fellowships associated with the Humboldt Foundation, project funding through the European Research Council, and competitive support from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. He earned recognition in venues administered by the Royal Society, the German Physical Society, and the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections. Haake's contributions were showcased in curated exhibitions at institutions such as the Deutsches Museum and cited in technical reports commissioned by the Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung and advisory panels connected to the European Commission Directorate-General for Research and Innovation.
Outside his research, Haake has held membership and governance roles in organizations including the German Chemical Society, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the Society for Conservation and Museums. He has served on editorial boards aligned with journals published by the American Chemical Society and the Institute of Physics, and he has participated in advisory capacities for initiatives run by the Goethe-Institut and the DAAD. Haake's public engagement included lectures delivered at venues such as the Royal Institution, the Smithsonian Institution, and university colloquia at the University of Edinburgh.
