Hannes Kurtze

Professor Hannes Kurtze serves as a Professor of Physics at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Köthen, Germany, with dual appointments in Department 6 - Electrical, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and Department 7 - Applied Biosciences and Process Engineering. Born in 1977, he has been a faculty member at the university since 2019.

His research focuses on quantum physics, particularly semiconductor nanostructures and quantum dots. Professor Kurtze's work examines carrier relaxation dynamics and exciton spin relaxation in (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots, with investigations into magnetic field effects on quantum systems. His publications demonstrate a strong focus on the fundamental physics of semiconductor nanostructures with potential applications in quantum computing.

Professor Kurtze's two major publications from 2011 and 2016 represent significant contributions to the field of quantum dot physics, with his 2016 paper in Applied Physics Letters addressing magnetic field-induced phenomena in quantum dot systems.

• Professor of Physics at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences (2019-present)
• Temporary Lecturer in Department 7 - Applied Biosciences and Process Engineering
• Consultant/Senior Consultant at VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH (2012-2018)

Professor Kurtze maintains regular office hours on Tuesdays from 2-3pm during term time, with additional appointments available by arrangement. His research bridges theoretical quantum physics with practical applications in semiconductor technology, making him a valuable resource for students interested in both theoretical and applied physics.
