Harald Lück

Dr. Harald Lück is a senior research leader at the Institut für Gravitationsphysik, Leibniz Universität Hannover, and part of the Albert Einstein Institute (AEI) in Hannover, Germany. He serves as the ET Research Unit Leader and Group Leader for the GEO600+HF and Einstein Telescope projects, focusing on laser interferometry and gravitational wave astronomy.

His research is centered on advancing detector technologies for next-generation gravitational wave observatories. Key areas include high-precision laser interferometry, quantum noise reduction, and instrumentation for the Einstein Telescope—an ambitious future project in European astrophysics. His work bridges experimental physics, astrophysics, and engineering.

Dr. Lück’s scientific contributions are aligned with major international efforts in gravitational wave detection. He plays a pivotal role in developing the technological foundation for future observatories capable of probing deeper into the universe’s most violent events, such as black hole mergers and neutron star collisions.
