Life

Hoffmann completed his diploma in physics at the Ruhr University in Bochum in 1975 . He then did his doctorate until 1979 at the Technical University of Darmstadt. This was followed by a stay abroad at Stanford University , California , USA and another position at TU Darmstadt, which lasted until 1982. Hoffmann then worked for the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching near Munich and for the Society for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt. He completed his habilitation at the TU Darmstadt in 1993 and accepted a professorship in experimental nuclear physics at the University of Erlangen . In 1998 he became professor for nuclear physics in Darmstadt.

In more than 545 articles, Hoffmann deals with experimental nuclear physics, plasma physics and astroparticle physics.
