Martin Dressel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Dressel (born January 25, 1960 in Bayreuth ) is a German physicist and university professor. He is a professor for experimental physics at the University of Stuttgart .

Life

After graduating from the Graf-Münster-Gymnasium , Dressel studied physics at the University of Erlangen and at the University of Göttingen , graduating in 1986. He then completed his dissertation there at the 3rd Physics Institute headed by Manfred Schroeder and received his doctorate in 1989. After almost two years at the Göttingen Laser Laboratory , Dressel was initially a postdoc at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and then in George Gruner's group at the University of California, Los Angeles . In 1995 he switched to the Technical University of Darmstadt as a habilitation candidate , after which he worked at the University of Augsburg . Since 1998 he has been a professor at the University of Stuttgart , where he heads the 1st Physics Institute.

In 2003 Dressel received the Baden-Württemberg State Research Prize . In 2004 he was visiting professor at the University of Barcelona . Since 2013 he has been Adjunct Professor at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology .

Dressel is married to the judge at the Federal Court of Justice Annette Brockmöller .

research

Dressel researches low-dimensional and interacting electron systems in solids. The material systems he investigated include one- and two-dimensional organic conductors (e.g. Bechgaard salts and BEDT-TTF compounds), iron-containing high-temperature superconductors , molecular magnets , heavy ferrous metals and metamaterials . In terms of method, Dressel and his research group mainly use optical spectroscopy over a very broad spectral range ( microwaves , THz radiation , infrared radiation , visible light ). He uses this to investigate various issues in solid state physics, e.g. B. on the topics of metallic conductivity in low dimensions, superconductivity, magnetism (e.g. quantum spin fluids ) and Mott systems .

He also wrote a textbook with George Grüner on the electrodynamics of solids.
