Annemarie Pucci

Annemarie Pucci (born May 31, 1954 in Weimar ) is a German physicist and university lecturer . She is a professor at Heidelberg University .

life and work

Annemarie Pucci studied physics at the University of Jena from 1972 to 1977 and wrote her diploma thesis in theoretical solid-state physics. In 1977, the GDR job placement system assigned her to a job as an assistant in the Physics section of the University of Rostock . Here she continued her research, investigated the properties of disordered solids and received her doctorate in 1983 with distinction. During this time her two daughters were born. From 1983 to 1986 she headed a working group on a postdoc position at the University of Rostock. For private reasons, she moved to Weimar and until 1987 taught mathematics and statistics at an agricultural college. From 1987 to 1991, she resumed her experimental and theoretical research as a research assistant at the University of Jena, although she was not allowed to do a habilitation during the GDR era because she was not a member of the SED . After research stays in Tübingen and Stuttgart , she got a position as a research assistant at the Free University in Berlin. She successfully carried out experiments on the interaction of helium atom beams with solid surfaces in an ultra-high vacuum apparatus and at the same time completed her habilitation on the infrared absorption of thin layers in Jena. From 1993 to 1995, she worked as a part-time women's representative in the Physics Department of the Free University of Berlin, developing the women's advancement plan for this area. In 1995 she became a university professor at the Institute for Applied Physics, the now renamed Kirchhoff Institute for Physics at Heidelberg University. Here she conducts research in the field of surface physics and in-situ spectroscopy on ultra-thin films and teaches solid-state and surface physics. In 1999 she was one of the organizers of the German Congress of Women in Physics in Heidelberg and is a member of the commission of the working group for equal opportunities in the German Physical Society.
