from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Herbert Pietschmann (born August 9, 1936 in Vienna ) is an Austrian physicist and was full professor for theoretical physics at the University of Vienna from 1971 to 2004 . His main areas of work include quantum mechanics and the physics of subatomic particles . His father was the Viennese ichthyologist Victor Pietschmann .

Pietschmann studied mathematics and physics at the University of Vienna, and in 1961 received the Dr. phil. ( sub auspiciis praesidentis). He completed his habilitation in theoretical physics at the Universities of Vienna and Gothenburg in 1966. Pietschmann conducted research in Geneva (at CERN ), Virginia (USA), Gothenburg (Sweden) and Bonn. Since 1968 associate professor, he was full professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Vienna from 1971 to October 1, 2004. Pietschmann is a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Vienna International Academy for Holistic Medicine, a member of the New York Academy of Science and a Fellow of the World Innovation Foundation. He became known to a larger audience through numerous dedicated lectures, which are particularly dedicated to opening up scientific thinking. His commitment extends to areas as diverse as management training, holistic medicine , classical music and philosophy.
