Education

Ulrich Lemmer received a diploma degree in physics from RWTH Aachen University in 1990 and a Ph.D. from the University of Marburg in 1995. From 1995 to 1996, he held a postdoctoral position with the University of California at Santa Barbara. [2]

Career

In 2002, Lemmer was appointed as a full Professor and director of the Light Technology Institute, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. He is also one of the directors of the Institute for Microstructure Technology. [3] To appreciate his work for the optics society Lemmer was awarded with the Esther Hoffman Beller Medal in 2018. The primary reason for the honor was for developing a vision for an international education program in optics that appreciates its importance as an enabling technology, and for successfully establishing the Karlsruhe School of Optics & Photonics (KSOP). [4]

Publications

Lemmer is an author of over 400 journal publications, 17 patents or patent applications, and 9 books and book articles. [5]
