Dr. Dietmar Kracht, Executive Director of Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH), has accepted the call to become a University Professor of Applied Laser Physics at Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) and the LZH as of 1 May, 2024.
"At LZH, we conduct research in cutting-edge fields of applied laser physics," says Dietmar Kracht. "I'm excited to bring this expertise to the next generation of scientists in my new role as a university professor."
Prof. Dr. iur. Volker Epping, President of Leibniz University Hannover, adds: "With the new professorship, we are strengthening the field of Optical Technologies. Our programs in Optical Technologies benefit from the joint professorships with LZH in engineering and now also in the natural sciences."
The newly established professorship is located at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. Dr. Dietmar Kracht has been lecturing in laser physics at LUH since 2007.
About the Person
Dietmar Kracht studied physics at Christian-Albrecht-University in Kiel. He received his doctorate in 2003 from the University of Lübeck on the topic "Diode-pumped solid-state laser system for the generation of Q-switched microsecond laser pulses in the green spectral range." Since 2002, he has been working at LZH, first as a project leader for diode-pumped solid-state lasers and ultrashort pulse fiber lasers. From 2004 to 2005, he was Head of the Solid-State Photonics Group, and then Head of the Laser Development Department until 2008. Dietmar Kracht has been Scientific Technical Director of LZH since 2008 and was appointed as the Executive Director of LZH in 2009.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
