Andre Schöning

Prof. Dr. Andre Schöning is a Full Professor (W3) at the Physics Institute of Heidelberg University since 2009, specializing in experimental particle physics. He serves as Co-Spokesperson of the Mu3e Collaboration and leads research in detector development and high-energy physics experiments.

Research Interests:

• Search for the decay μ→eee with the Mu3e Experiment at PSI
• Development of High-Voltage Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (HV-MAPS)
• Track trigger systems for ATLAS and future colliders
• Physics analysis with ATLAS and historical H1 experiment data
• Wireless data transmission technologies for particle detectors

His recent publications demonstrate strong focus on detector technology development, particularly for muon experiments and high-rate tracking systems, alongside significant contributions to Standard Model physics measurements at the LHC. The research spans both hardware development and sophisticated data analysis techniques.

Scientific Recognition:

• CERN Fellowship (1997-1999)
• University of Hamburg dissertation award (1997)
• Association of the Friends and Sponsors of DESY dissertation award (1997)

Prof. Schöning has secured substantial research funding from DFG and BMBF from 2009-2025, including leadership of the DFG Research Unit on Lepton Flavor Violation with Mu3e. He maintains active collaborations including WADAPT, Mu3e, ATLAS, and the long-standing H1 collaboration.

His research group operates within the High-Energy Physics division of Heidelberg's Physics Institute, working on cutting-edge detector systems for current and future particle physics experiments, with particular emphasis on precision measurements requiring novel detector technologies.
