Stefan Hüfner (Physicist)
Stefan Hüfner (July 2, 1935 in Löwenberg, Silesia – January 17, 2013 in Saarbrücken, Saarland) was a German experimental physicist specialized in solid-state physics and photoemission spectroscopy. Education and career Hüfner studied mathematics and physics at the Goethe University of Frankfurt and the Technical University of Darmstadt. After graduating from 1960 to 1966, he was a scientific assistant at the Institute for Technical Physics at the TU Darmstadt. In 1963 he received his doctorate there, supervised by Karl-Heinz Hellwege. In 1966 he obtained ''habilitation'' in physics. He was a guest researcher at the Technical University of Munich and at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.Y., USA. From 1967 to 1968 he was a ''privatdozent'' at the TU Darmstadt and the doctoral supervisor of Peter Grünberg, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2007. In 1968 he received a call to the professorship for experimental physics at the Free University o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Max Planck Institute For Nuclear Physics
The Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik ("MPI for Nuclear Physics" or MPIK for short) is a research institute in Heidelberg, Germany. The institute is one of the 80 institutes of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (Max Planck Society), an independent, non-profit research organization. The Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics was founded in 1958 under the leadership of Wolfgang Gentner. Its precursor was the Institute for Physics at the MPI for Medical Research. Today, the institute's research areas are: crossroads of particle physics and astrophysics (astroparticle physics) and many-body dynamics of atoms and molecules (quantum dynamics). The research field of Astroparticle Physics, represented by the divisions of Jim Hinton, Werner Hofmann and Manfred Lindner, combines questions related to macrocosm and microcosm. Unconventional methods of observation for gamma rays and neutrinos open new windows to the universe. What lies behind “dark matter” and “dark energy” is theore ...

Advisory Board
An advisory board is a body that provides non-binding strategic advice to the management of a corporation, organization, or foundation. The informal nature of an advisory board gives greater flexibility in structure and management compared to the board of directors. Unlike the board of directors, the advisory board does not have authority to vote on corporate matters or bear legal fiduciary responsibilities. Many new or small businesses choose to have advisory boards in order to benefit from the knowledge of others, without the expense or formality of the board of directors. Function The function of an advisory board is to offer assistance to enterprises with anything from marketing to managing human resources to influencing the direction of regulators. Advisory boards are composed of accomplished experts offering innovative advice and dynamic perspectives. Meeting quarterly or biannually, boards can provide strategic direction, guide quality improvement, and assess program effec ...

Privatdozent
''Privatdozent'' (for men) or ''Privatdozentin'' (for women), abbreviated PD, P.D. or Priv.-Doz., is an academic title conferred at some European universities, especially in German-speaking countries, to someone who holds certain formal qualifications that denote an ability (''facultas docendi'') and permission to teach (''venia legendi'') a designated subject at the highest level. To be granted the title Priv.-Doz. by a university, a recipient has to fulfill the criteria set by the university which usually require excellence in research, teaching, and further education. In its current usage, the title indicates that the holder has completed their habilitation and is therefore granted permission to teach and examine students independently without having a professorship. Conferment and roles A university faculty can confer the title to an academic who has a higher doctoral degree - usually in the form of a habilitation. The title, ''Privatdozent'', as such does not imply a sala ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
