Jens Falta

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jens Falta (* 1960 ) is a German physicist and has been professor of experimental physics at the University of Bremen since 1999 .

Life

From 1982 to 1988 Falta studied physics at the universities of Hamburg and Hanover . He then worked from 1988 to 1991 at the University of Hanover as a doctoral student at the Institute for Solid State Physics with M. Henzler. In 1991 he received his doctorate with a thesis on "Structural investigations on surface defects for the epitaxy of silicon on Si (100) and the catalytic oxidation of CO on Pt (110)".
After completing his doctorate, Falta spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow at the IBM TJ Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, USA (with Rudolf Tromp). From 1992 to 1999 he was research assistant at the Hamburg Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (HASYLAB) of the German Electron Synchrotron ( DESY ) and at the University of Hamburg (with G. Materlik). There he completed his habilitation in 1996 with a thesis on “Characterization and production of buried ultra-thin doping layers”.
Since 1999 Falta has been Professor of Experimental Physics (area of surface physics ) at the University of Bremen, where he has held the post of Dean of Faculty 1 (Physics and Electrical Engineering) since 2003 .
