Volker Schomerus
Volker Schomerus (born August 8, 1965 in Buxtehude ) is a German theoretical physicist who deals with string theory and quantum field theory.
Schomerus received his doctorate in 1993 under Gerhard Mack at the University of Hamburg (dissertation: Quantum symmetry in quantum theory ). In 1993 he was visiting professor at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute in Vienna and until 1995 as a post-doctoral student at Harvard University . Then he was again a research assistant at the University of Hamburg, where he completed his habilitation in 1999. From 2000 to 2002 he was at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam and from 2002 to 2005 he was a senior scientist at the Institut de Physique Théorique in Saclay . He has been a senior scientist at DESY since 2005 , where he headed the theory group from 2007 to 2010. Since 2008 he has been Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Hamburg.
Since 2013 he has been the coordinator of the European Research Training Network GATIS (Gauge theory as an integrable system).
In 1999 he received the Physics Prize of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences for his work on expanding the concept of symmetry in quantum physics (laudation).
