Ingo Hofmann

Prof. Dr. Ingo Hofmann is a Professor and member of the Scientific Council at the Helmholtz Institute Jena, a joint venture between GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH and Friedrich Schiller University Jena. Based at GSI in Darmstadt, Germany, he maintains an active research profile with office contact details including Room C26.2.001 and telephone +49 6159 71-2409.

His research spans critical domains of modern physics:

• Atomic interactions with highly charged ions and X-rays
• Relativistic laser-plasma theory and quantum dynamics
• Strong-field physics in high-intensity laser regimes
• Advanced X-ray spectroscopy and polarimetry
• Quantum logic applications for heavy ions
• Photon source development from EUV to mid-IR

The Helmholtz Institute Jena operates cutting-edge facilities including POLARIS, JETI40, and JETI200 lasers alongside the HITRAP and CRYRING@ESR storage rings. These enable pioneering work in relativistic quantum dynamics and photon science, with Prof. Hofmann contributing to the institute's leadership in high-energy density physics research through collaborations with DESY, HZDR, FAIR, and XFEL.
