Karina Morgenstern
Karina Morgenstern (born February 12, 1968 in Bonn ) is a German physicist . She holds the chair for physical chemistry at the Ruhr University Bochum .
Life
Karina Morgenstern attended elementary school and grammar school in Bonn, graduated from high school in 1987. This was followed by studying physics and computer science at the universities of Bonn and Knoxville / USA. She received her physics diploma in 1993 ( Forschungszentrum Jülich and University of Bonn ), her computer science diploma in 1994 (GMD Research Center for Information Technology, GMD Sankt Augustin and University of Bonn)
The doctorate in surface physics followed in 1996 ( Forschungszentrum Jülich and University of Bonn ), the habilitation in experimental physics in 2002 ( Free University of Berlin ). She has been licensed to teach experimental physics since 2003.
Scientific career
Karina Morgenstern was a research assistant at the University of Aarhus 1996, at the University of Lausanne 1996–1999 and at the Free University of Berlin 1999–2003.
