معرفی
Prof. Dr. K.-T. Brinkmann is a Professor at Justus Liebig University Giessen, affiliated with the II. Physics Institute within the Faculty of Physics. The Brinkmann working group conducts research in experimental hadron physics with specialized expertise in detector physics including tracking detectors and calorimeters.
Research interests include:
- Experimental Hadron Physics through PANDA, Crystal Barrel/TAPS and CLAS experiments
- Detector physics and development for particle physics applications
- Radiation hardness testing of electronics for space applications
- Characterization of detector materials for medical diagnostics and therapy
- Neutron detector development for medical physics applications
Funding for the Brinkmann group comes from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (ErUM-FSP T08) for PANDA-related activities and the EU project INTELUM for detector material research. The group is also a key participant in the LOEWE research cluster ADMIT, a €4.8 million collaboration between THM, JLU Giessen and Philipps University Marburg focused on advancing medical physics through 2027.
Prof. Brinkmann actively engages in educational outreach through Particle World masterclasses for high school students, university information days featuring experimental physics demonstrations, and supervises bachelor's, master's and doctoral theses. The group recently led the successful STRATO-II stratospheric balloon project and hosts major conferences including the DPG Spring Conference 2024.
