Sylvia Speller (born June 17, 1967 in Haren ) is a German physicist and professor of surface and interface physics at the University of Rostock .

Life

Speller passed her high school diploma in Haren in 1986 and completed a diploma course in physics from 1986 to 1992. It was in 1995 at the University of Osnabrück on the structure of metal crystal surfaces at the atomic level to Dr. rer. nat. PhD, where she did research in 2002 a. a. also completed his habilitation in Leuven , Eindhoven and Wisconsin .

In 2001 she took over a chair for experimental physics at Radboud University Nijmegen (then the youngest professor of physics in the Netherlands) , where she was also director of NanoLab Nijmegen , a center for knowledge transfer between science and industry in the field of nanotechnology . In 2012 she was appointed university professor for "Surface and Interface Physics" at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Rostock, making her the first female experimental physics professor at this university.
