Gunnar Berg (born March 29, 1940 in Magdeburg ) is a German physicist.

Life

Gunnar Berg studied physics at the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg from 1958 to 1963 , after which he was at the Institute for Mining Safety in Leipzig until 1970 and began the same year as an assistant in the physics section at Martin Luther -University Halle-Wittenberg to start work. In 1971 he received his doctorate in natural sciences in Halle, and in 1975 at the Bergakademie Freiberg he received his doctorate in engineering. In 1982 he completed his habilitation and became senior assistant in solid state physics at the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg.

After receiving the Gustav Hertz Prize in 1982 for his work in the field of solid state physics , he was appointed associate lecturer in 1989 and in 1992 was appointed professor of experimental physics at the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg. From 1990 to 1992 Berg was director of the physics section, since 1989 he has been a member of the initiative group for the renewal of the university, from 1991 to 1992 he was dean of the mathematics and natural science faculty and from 1992 to 1996 rector of the University of Halle.

Gunnar Berg was a member of the board of the German Physical Society from 1990 to 1998 and was chairman of the Mathematical and Natural Science Faculty Conference from 1996 to 1998 and 2000 to 2002. From 1996 to 2007 he was chairman of the board of the Leucorea Foundation in Wittenberg . From 2000 to 2008 Berg was a member of the Presidium of the German University Association .
