معرفی
Beatrix C. Hiesmayr is a Privatdozent (habilitated Associate Professor) of theoretical physics at the University of Vienna, Faculty of Physics, where she has led the Quantum Particle Workgroup since 2008. She serves as elected member of the works-council for scientific staff and teaches a broad spectrum of courses from introductory lab sessions to advanced quantum-information theory.
Education & qualifications: The text does not list prior degrees, but her title Mag. Dr. and the rank Privatdoz. indicate a doctorate and post-doctoral habilitation at an Austrian university.
Research interests sit at the tripartite interface of quantum information science, high-energy particle theory and medical-imaging technology. Her group develops mathematical tools to detect and quantify entanglement in composite qudit systems, subjects discrete space-time symmetries to precision tests with positronium decays, and translates the resulting detector know-how into the world-first plastic-scintillator total-body PET scanner (J-PET).
Across 15 representative papers (2023-2025) she explores entanglement witnesses, distillation protocols, quantum neural networks, and realistic PET engineering, signalling a coherent programme that moves from abstract quantum-structure theorems to hardware prototypes now entering clinical feasibility studies.
Although no specific grants or honours are mentioned, she currently coordinates the COST action “Relativistic Quantum Information” (CA21106) and her group operates an international consortium on J-PET development. Student names are not disclosed in the supplied text.
