Elke Scheer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elke Scheer (born January 12, 1965 in Mayen ) is a German physicist and university professor. She is a professor for experimental physics at the University of Konstanz .

life and work

Scheer studied physics at the University of Karlsruhe from 1984 to 1990 with a diploma. She then worked as a research assistant at the Physics Institute of the University of Karlsruhe and did her doctorate in 1995 with the topic: On the geometry dependence of the conductance fluctuations in nanostructured metal layers. From 1996 to 1997 she worked at the Center d'Etudes Saclay des Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA) in Gif-sur-Yvette in France and then until 2000 as a research assistant at the Physics Institute of the University of Karlsruhe. Since 2000 she has been Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Konstanz. From 2003 to 2009 she was director of the Zukunftskolleg (formerly: Center for Young Scientists) at the University of Konstanz.
