Karl Jakobs

Karl Jakobs (* 1959 in Retterath ) is a German physicist and university professor . He has been Professor of Experimental Particle Physics at the Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg since 2003 .

Life

Jakobs completed his physics studies at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn in 1985 and received his doctorate in 1988 from the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . From 1988 to 1992 he was a research assistant at CERN in Geneva , from 1992 to 1996 at the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich . From 1996 to 2003 he was a professor at the University of Mainz . In 2007 he became the physics coordinator of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC of CERN in Geneva, where he coordinated the cooperation of 1,600 physicists. For 2015 he was awarded the Stern-Gerlach Medal of the German Physical Society . Since March 1st, 2017 he has been the leader (spokesperson) of the ATLAS collaboration.
