Christoph Helmut Keitel
Christoph Helmut Keitel (born July 30, 1965 in Lübeck ) is a German physicist and university professor . He is director at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics .
Christoph Helmut Keitel studied physics and mathematics at the University of Hanover and physics at the University of Munich , where he received his doctorate in 1992 with Georg Süßmann after graduating in 1990 . After several years of research in New Mexico and at Imperial College in London, he worked as a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Innsbruck . In 1998 he became SFB junior research group leader at the University of Freiburg , where he qualified as a professor at Atomic Systems in Intense Laser Fields in 2000 and received the venia legendi .
After teaching at the Universities of Freiburg and Düsseldorf, he was accepted as a scientific member of the Max Planck Society in 2004 and was appointed director at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg . Since 2005 he has also been an honorary professor at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität .
Keitel works mainly in the field of theoretical laser-induced quantum dynamics, quantum electrodynamics as well as nuclear and high-energy physics with extremely strong laser fields.
In 2003 he was awarded the Gustav Hertz Prize of the German Physical Society .
