Live and act

Rudolf Sizmann lived in Rosenheim from 1946 , where he passed the Abitur at the secondary school in 1948. From 1949 he studied chemistry at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . In 1956 he received his doctorate from Georg-Maria Schwab with a dissertation on rectification in packed columns with admixture of inert gas . He then turned to technical physics under Nikolaus Riehl at the Technical University of Munich , where he completed his habilitation in 1962 and then taught as a private lecturer. In 1964 he was offered a professorship for experimental physics at the LMU, which he followed in 1965 (from 1967 as a full professor ). First he dealt with questions of nuclear solid-state physics , especially the so-called channeling . From 1974 onwards he concentrated on researching the physical principles of generating energy from solar radiation . Since 1979 he has been a member of the expert group “Solar Energy / Renewable Energy Sources” of the Federal Ministry for Research and Technology. In 1980 he was elected a full member by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences , and in 1986 by the Leopoldina . In 1992 the German Society for Solar Energy awarded him an award.
