Dieter Ullmann (born May 12, 1934 in Apolda ) is a German physicist and physics historian.

Life

After graduating from high school in 1952, Ullmann studied physics at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena until 1958 . After that he was a research assistant at the theoretical-physical institute of this university until 1963. In his diploma thesis in 1958 and his dissertation in 1963 with Kurt Schuster , he dealt with the interaction of flow and acoustic or magnetoacoustic waves. After a brief period of activity from 1963 to 1965 as a lecturer at the physics chair at the Erfurt University of Education , he went to the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in Berlin until 1992 , and was initially a scientific editor for mechanics, elastomechanics and fluid mechanics at the central journal for mathematics and their border areas until 1978 and then until 1997 scientific editor for all areas of mechanics at the editorial team of the journal for applied mathematics and mechanics (ZAMM) , which was based at the Institute for Mathematics at the University of Potsdam from 1992 onwards.

Since the 1970s, Ullmann has been conducting extensive research in the field of the history of acoustics , in particular the work of Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni and the history of room acoustics .
