    Confirmed plenary speakers

    • Professor Klaus von Klitzing, Nobel prize for Physics in 1985
      Klaus von Klitzing was born in 1943 in Schroda. He received his PhD from the University of Würzburg in 1972. After research stays in England, USA and France he became a Professor at the Technical University in Munich in 1980. Between 1985 - 2018 he was director at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany. He has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1985 for the discovery of the Quantum Hall Effect. This quantum effect opened a new research field and plays a major role in metrology, not only as a resistance standard RK=h/e2 with the Planck constant h and the elementary charge e, but also in connection with the realization of a new SI system, based on fundamental constants.
      He has published more than 500 papers in the field of semiconductor quantum structures and received a large number of national and international awards. He holds 22 honorary degrees and is a foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Royal Society of London, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

    • Professor Gerard Albert Mourou, Nobel prize for Physics in 2018
      Gérard Mourou was born in Albertville, France. He studied physics at the University of Grenoble and then at the Université Pierre-et-Marie-Curie in Paris, where he earned his PhD in 1973. He later moved to the United States and became a professor at the University of Rochester, where he did his Nobel Prize awarded work along with Donna Strickland. He subsequently worked at the University of Michigan and the École Polytechnique in Paris. The sharp beams of laser light have given us new opportunities for deepening our knowledge about the world and shaping it. In 1985, Donna Strickland and Gérard Mourou succeeded in creating ultrashort high-intensity laser pulses without destroying the amplifying material. First they stretched the laser pulses in time to reduce their peak power, then amplified them, and finally compressed them. The intensity of the pulse then increases dramatically. Chirped pulse amplification has many uses, including corrective eye surgeries. He advanced laser science in Europe through his proposal of the Extreme Light Infrastructure, which consists of three facilities with extremely powerful lasers in the Czech Republic, Romania, and Hungary.
