معرفی
Professor Hendrik Ulbricht is a Professor of Physics at the University of Southampton's Department of Physics & Astronomy. His research focuses on experimental tests of quantum mechanics and gravitation in macroscopic systems, including levitated opto-mechanics and nanoparticle interferometry. He leads the Quantum Nanophysics and Matterwave Interferometry group, pioneering studies on quantum superposition and gravity interactions using trapped nanoparticles.
Education:
- PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) from Free University of Berlin and Max Planck Society (2003)
- Undergraduate degree (Dipl.-Phys.) from Technical University Berlin and Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (2000)
Research Interests: Experimental quantum mechanics, quantum-gravity interplay, levitated systems, nanoparticle trapping, and non-classical states. His group explores foundational physics through table-top and space-based experiments to test quantum theory limits.
Key Projects:
- EPSRC-funded studies on quantum superposition tests
- Leverhulme Trust projects on modified gravity and dark matter detection
PhD Supervision: Advising 9 current students in Physics and related fields.
Awards: Max Kade Fellowship (postdoctoral period).
