Peter Fierlinger

Prof. Peter Fierlinger is Chair of Precision Measurements at Extreme Conditions at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) School of Natural Sciences. His research focuses on precision experiments to probe fundamental physics questions, particularly the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe and CP violation through electric dipole moment (EDM) measurements.

• Key Techniques: Ultra-cold neutrons, hyperpolarized noble gases, SQUID magnetometry
