Claus Lämmerzahl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claus Lämmerzahl (born July 19, 1956 in Engen ) is a German physicist specializing in gravitational physics .

Life

From 1975 Lämmerzahl studied physics in Constance with a focus on theoretical physics and obtained his diploma in 1982 with Jürgen Audretsch (neutron interference in the gravitational field). In 1989 he received his doctorate there (Contribution to a constructive axiomatics of space-time geometry) and in 1997 he completed his habilitation in theoretical physics. Until 2000 he was a research assistant at the University of Konstanz, with several guest stays at the Autonomous University of Mexico and at the CNRS in Paris at the Laboratory for Gravitation and Relativistic Cosmology. From 2000 to 2003 he was a research assistant at the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Düsseldorf and from 2003 at the Center for Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) at the University of Bremen , which also operates the Bremen drop tower , as head of the Fundamental Physics working group . In 2007 he completed his habilitation in Konstanz (theory of clocks and scales in gravitational fields. Theoretical and experimental foundations of special and general relativity). From 2012 to 03/2016 he was acting head of ZARM.

In 2010 he became a professor at the University of Oldenburg.

He dealt with tests of general and special relativity, the Pioneer anomaly and quantum sensing.

In 2015 he became a corresponding member of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA). In 2010 he received the Sparkasse Prize for outstanding scientific cooperation in Bremen with Betti Hartmann from Jacobs University Bremen for a project to search for cosmic strings.
