Peter Micke

Peter Micke serves as an Assistant Professor at Friedrich Schiller University Jena with a dual appointment at the Helmholtz Institute Jena, a strategic collaboration between GSI Helmholtzzentrum and the university. Based in Jena, he contributes to academic instruction through university lectures while conducting experimental research leveraging the institute's advanced photon science infrastructure including POLARIS, JETI40, and JETI200 laser systems.

His research program centers on Atomic Physics and Quantum Optics, specifically advancing Laser Spectroscopy techniques within ion trap environments for quantum logic spectroscopy of highly-charged heavy ions. This work directly supports the institute's core initiatives in relativistic laser physics and high-intensity light-matter interactions, addressing fundamental questions in quantum dynamics and precision measurement science through collaborations with specialized working groups.
