Last updated

Ulrike K. Woggon (born 1958) is a German physicist whose research involves the use of ultrafast laser spectroscopy to study low-dimensional quantum nanostructures, including quantum dots and plasmonic nanoparticles. She is a professor of nonlinear optics in the physics department at Technische Universität Berlin.

Education and career

Woggon was born in Berlin, [1] on 10 October 1958. She studied physics at the University of Jena and Humboldt University of Berlin, [2] receiving a diploma (the German equivalent of a master's degree) from Humboldt University in 1982, and completing a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in 1985. [3]

She continued at the University of Kaiserslautern, where she received a habilitation in 1995 with a habilitation thesis on the optical properties of quantum dots [3] [2] that was later published as the book Optical Properties of Semiconductor Quantum Dots (Springer, Springer Tracts in Modern Physics 136, 1997). [4]

She continued as a researcher at the University of Karlsruhe and the University of Arizona before, in 1997, taking a professorship in experimental physics at the Technical University of Dortmund. [2] She moved to TU Berlin in 2008. [2] [3]

Recognition

Woggon was named as a Fellow of Optica in 2010, "for seminal contributions to ultrafast spectroscopy and nano-optics of nanocrystals and quantum dots, and the demonstration of quantum optical principles with semiconductor nanostructures". [5]
