Albrecht Haase

Albrecht Haase is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Trento, Italy, and Head of the Neurophysics and Biophotonics Laboratory within the Center of Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMeC). His research focuses on neurophysics, quantum biology, and advanced imaging techniques applied to insect models. He holds habilitations in Experimental Physics (2016) and Applied Physics (2018).

Education:

• PhD in Physics (2005), University of Heidelberg, Germany
• Diploma in Physics (2000), Freie Universität Berlin, Germany
• External Diploma Thesis at University of Innsbruck, Austria (1999–2000)

Research Interests: Neurophysics, quantum biology, neural network dynamics, multiphoton microscopy, olfaction, magnetoreception, and insect sensory systems. He uses cutting-edge imaging tools to study odor coding, neuroplasticity, and the effects of pesticides on insect brains.

Key Projects: Development of bioimaging facilities at CIMeC’s Manifattura campus, optogenetic manipulation of olfactory networks, and investigations into magnetic field perception in insects. His work bridges physics, neuroscience, and ecology.

Professional Affiliations: German Physical Society (DPG), Italian Physical Society (SIF), Italian Society of Neuroscience (SINS), and bee research associations EurBee and COLOSS.
