From 1983 to 1987 he studied physics at the French universities in Saint-Cloud and Paris. He completed his doctorate in 1989 at the Institut d'Électronique Fondamentale at the Université Paris-Sud in Orsay . Since 1999 he has been honorary professor at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg .
From 1998 to 2007 he was director at the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) , whose executive director he was from 2000 to 2001 and 2006 to 2007. Since 2007 he has been working at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble .
In 2007 he was awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize for his research in the field of theoretical solid state physics . In 2009 he received the Ernst Mach Medal of Honor and the Prix Jean Ricard . He has been a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina since 2008 . In 1989 he received a scholarship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and in 1994 he received the CNRS bronze medal .
He is particularly concerned with the theory of magnetism in nanostructures and reduced dimensions, for example interactions in layers of ferromagnets (Interlayer Exchange Interactions) and the Berry phase in anisotropic ferromagnets.
