Kerstin Tackmann
Kerstin Tackmann (* 1978 ) is a German physicist and professor at the University of Hamburg. She is working on studies on the properties of the Higgs boson , which were discovered in 2012 through CMS and ATLAS experiments at the LHC of CERN .
life and work
Tackmann studied physics with a diploma from 1998 to 2004 at the Technical University of Dresden . From 2004 to 2008 she conducted research at the University of California, Berkeley on the BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and received her doctorate in 2008. She then worked as a research assistant at the Humboldt University in Berlin and then researched as a research fellow at CERN in Switzerland and became an expert in Higgs physics.
In 2011 she went to Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg as head of a Helmholtz Young Investigator Group . In 2018 she took up the position of a university professor for experimental particle physics at the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences in cooperation with the German Electron Synchrotron.
