Uwe Morgner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uwe Morgner (born July 11, 1967 in Hildesheim ) is a German experimental physicist .

Scientific career

Morgner studied physics at the University of Hanover from 1988 to 1994 . He then received his doctorate in 1997 from the Westphalian Wilhelms University . From 1998 to 1999 he worked as a visiting scientist at MIT . Subsequently, Morgner completed his habilitation in 2001 at the University of Karlsruhe in the field of photonics . From 2002 to 2004 he was group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg. In 2003 he completed his habilitation in physics at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . In 2004 he accepted a position at the Leibniz University in Hanover . There he heads a working group at the Institute for Quantum Optics that deals with the construction and application of pulsed lasers .

research

The main focus of his research is in the area of ultra-short laser pulses . It is primarily about the generation of the shortest laser pulses up to the “one-cycle pulse” and the broad spectra required for this. However, possible applications for these laser pulses in medicine or in material processing are also being developed.

Functions

Since 2004 Morgner has been Professor of Experimental Physics at the Institute for Quantum Optics at Leibniz University in Hanover. There he heads the research group for ultrafast laser optics and was managing director of the institute from 2008. He is also a board member at Laser Zentrum Hannover eV , the Center for Quantum Engineering and Space-Time Research (QUEST) and the Hanover Center for Optical Technologies (HOT). From 2013 to 2015 he was dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Leibniz University Hannover. Since January 2019 he has been the spokesman for the Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD .
