Thomas Klinger (physicist)
Thomas Klinger (born March 22, 1965 in Eutin ) is a German physicist . Since 2001 he has been a "Scientific Member" of the Max Planck Society and director of the "Stellarator Dynamics and Transport" department at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald.
Life
Klinger studied physics at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel between 1985 and 1991 . After a research stay in Nancy (France) , he received his doctorate in 1994 with a thesis on gas discharge physics at the University of Kiel. He then worked as a university assistant at the University of Kiel, where he dealt with drift wave turbulence and non-linear plasma structures. In 1998 he completed his habilitation with a thesis on “Controlling Plasma Instabilities” after researching in Stockholm, Marseille and at the MPI for Plasma Physics in Garching . He was then appointed to a professorship for experimental physics at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University of Greifswald , where he was Managing Director of the Institute for Physics from 2000 to 2001. In 2001 he was appointed Scientific Member of the Max Planck Society, at whose MPI for Plasma Physics (Greifswald site) he has been active ever since. In 2002 he was also appointed to a chair for experimental plasma physics at the University of Greifswald. He is a member of the board of directors of the MPI for Plasma Physics (Garching and Greifswald) and he heads the Wendelstein 7-X project .
