Margit Zacharias

Biography

Margit Zacharias obtained from Diploma in Physics (Solid State Physics) from the University of Leipzig in 1980, and her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Magdeburg in 1984. In 1999 she got her habilitation in Experimental Physics at the University of Magdeburg. She joined the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics / Hall in 2000 with a position in the prestigious C3 program of the Max Planck Society. This was followed by a move in 2006 to the University of Paderborn, Germany, where she was a Professor for Applied Physics. In 2007 she moved to the Albert Ludwigs University in Freiburg, joined the Institute of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) and runs the Laboratory for Nanotechnology. Prof. Zacharias is a curator of the Physics Journal. She is the German representative of the Nanoscience Division of IUVSTA International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique and Applications. Prof. Zacharias is author or co-author of more than 160 publications in the broad area of ​​nanomaterials and nanotechnology. She is a member of the board.
