Bernhard Holzapfel
Bernhard Holzapfel is a German physicist.
Holzapfel received his doctorate in physics from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in 1995 (with a dissertation on high-temperature superconductors: conventional and off-axis laser deposition of YBaCuO thin layers and heteroepitaxial multilayer structures: preparation and pinning properties ).
Holzapfel spent a long time at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research (IFW) in Dresden, where he researched, among other things, the SupraTrans magnetic levitation train , which is based on superconducting materials (it later moved to KIT). He worked there and before (from 1990) at Siemens with Ludwig Schultz. Together they were able to significantly advance material research for the production of strip conductors from high-temperature superconductors for applications in energy technology.
He is Professor and Director of Superconducting Materials at the KIT Institute for Technical Physics .
In 2006 he and Ludwig Schultz received the Science Prize: Society needs science for research on high-temperature superconductors.
