Life

Kampert studied physics from 1977 to 1983 at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster . He completed his studies with a diploma. From 1983 to 1986 Kampert was a research assistant at the Westphalian Wilhelms University and received his doctorate in 1986. He then worked for three years as a postdoctoral research fellow at the large research institution CERN in Switzerland. From 1989 to 1995 he was assistant professor of physics at Münster University, during which he completed his habilitation in 1993. He then taught as professor of physics at the University of Karlsruhe and the Karlsruhe Research Center , which both merged in 2009 to form the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology . Since 2003 he has been teaching experimental physics at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal .
