Andreas Knorr (physicist)

Andreas Knorr (born April 14, 1965 in Erfurt ) is a German theoretical physicist who has held a professorship for nonlinear optics and quantum electronics of semiconductors at the Technical University of Berlin since 2000 .

Life

From 1986 onwards, Knorr studied at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena , which he completed in 1990 with an experimental thesis on laser spectroscopy . He then moved to theoretical physics and conducted research at the University of New Mexico to the propagation of laser light in the atmosphere and at the Optical Sciences Center of the University of Arizona in Tucson for solid-state optics .

Knorr received his doctorate in Jena in 1993 . After a stay at the Georg August University in Göttingen , he went to the Philipps University of Marburg as an assistant to Stephan W. Koch , with whom he had already worked in Arizona . After his habilitation in 1998, Knorr was appointed to the TU Berlin in 2000.

His doctoral students there included Jens Förstner , professor at the University of Paderborn since 2013 , and Ermin Malic , since 2015 assistant professor at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg .
