Heinz Haas

Heinz Haas is a Research Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Aveiro, Portugal. His career spans over five decades, including roles at CERN, Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin, and the Free University of Berlin. He specializes in nuclear quadrupole moments, electric field gradients, and interdisciplinary physics-chemistry research.

Education:

• PhD in Physical Chemistry, Florida State University (1965)
• Habilitation in Experimental Physics (Privatdozent), Free University of Berlin (1975)
• Diploma in Chemistry, J.W. Goethe University Frankfurt (1962)

Research Focus: Dr. Haas investigates nuclear quadrupole moments across solid-state, molecular, and atomic systems. His work bridges computational simulations (e.g., BOMD) with experimental techniques like perturbed gamma-gamma angular correlation. Key areas include temperature-dependent electric field gradients and historical verification of nuclear theories.

Affiliations:

• Collaborator at CERN/ISOLDE Team (since 2013)
• Former Group Leader at CERN's ISOLDE facility (1987-1993)

Grants & Labs: Active in CICECO Aveiro's research teams, focusing on photonic and magnetic materials. His work often involves international collaborations with institutions like UC Berkeley and EPFL.
