Henning Kalis

Prof. Dr. Henning Kalis is a Professor specializing in physics and engineering disciplines, currently teaching Physics I, Scientific Principles I, Engineering Methodology, and Sensor Technology courses for the 2025/2026 academic year.

His educational background includes a Master's degree in theoretical solid-state physics from TU Dortmund University (2007-2012), where his research focused on stability testing of measurement-based quantum computers, and a Doctorate in experimental atomic, molecular, and optical physics from Albert Ludwig University Freiburg im Breisgau (2012-2017) specializing in quantum simulation using surface ion traps.

His research interests integrate quantum technologies with applied engineering, spanning quantum simulation, quantum computing, atomic molecular and optical physics systems, optical design/simulation methodologies, and sensor technology development—reflecting his transition from academic quantum research to industrial optics applications before assuming his professorship.
