Painted Kaluza

Malte Christoph Kaluza (* 1974 in Lich ) is a German professor of physics at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and a cellist .

Career

Kaluza received piano and cello lessons at an early age and was a young student at the Frankfurt University of Music at the age of 16 . From 1994 Kaluza studied cello at the University of Music and Theater in Munich with Reiner Ginzel and received the artistic diploma four years later and finally the master class diploma in 2000. At the same time, he completed a physics degree at the Technical University of Munich , which he completed with a doctorate in 2004 . After a two-year stay at Imperial College London , since 2006 he has headed a research group at Jena University that is developing the diode-pumped solid-state laser Polaris . This was inaugurated on March 8, 2008 and awarded as part of the Germany - Land of Ideas initiative. The femtosecond laser can achieve outputs in the lower petawatt range and generate intensities of more than 6 * 10 ²⁰ W / cm² in the focus . Possible applications are u. a. in the field of medicine, e.g. B. seen in radiation therapy and oncology .

In 2006 he was already teaching as a junior professor for experimental physics . Kaluza has held the chair for experimental physics and relativistic laser physics since 2011. Today he still appears occasionally at various concerts, e.g. B. with the cello quartet of the Physics and Astronomy Faculty of the University of Jena.
