from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hauke ​​Trinks (born February 19, 1943 in Berlin , † December 2016 in Norway ) was a German physicist .

Life

Hauke ​​Trinks was professor of experimental physics at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg and founding president of the Northern Institute of Technology Management located there .

Trinks grew up in Sweden from 1950 to 1958. He studied physics at the University of Bonn from 1964 to 1969 . In 1972 he received his doctorate from the University of Freiburg . In 1974 he became professor of measurement technology at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Hamburg , and in 1982 head of the institute for measurement technology at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg. From 1990 to 1993 he taught at the University of Tromsø in Norway and was then President of the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg until 1999.

Hauke ​​Trinks, who was also looking for adventure privately as a parachutist and single-handed sailor , undertook two winter expeditions on the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. In the winter of 1999/2000 he lived in isolation on a sailboat trapped in the sea ​​ice in Mushamna Bay on the island of Svalbard .

From June 2002 to August 2003 he and the Englishwoman Marie Tièche spent 14 months in a hut on the bay of Kinnvika on the island of Nordostland . Both expeditions were used for research. Trink's research indicates that the beginnings of life, chemical evolution , could only have found sufficient molecule-stabilizing conditions in the ice and not in the hot primordial soup , as widely assumed.

Most recently he lived on the small island of Utsira in western Norway .
