Sven Sturm

Sven Sturm is a Principal Investigator at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany, with a focus on precision physics in strongly correlated electron systems. He leads the ERC Advanced Grant project 'Lepton Symmetry Experiment – matter / antimatter symmetry test with electron and positron' since 2023.

• Education: Habilitation (2022), Heidelberg University; Doctorate (2012), Mainz University under Klaus Blaum; Diplom (2007), Heidelberg University and CERN under Andreas Wolf.

Research Interests: His work centers on high-precision experiments in fundamental physics, particularly testing matter/antimatter symmetry and quantum electrodynamics (QED) in strong fields. He investigates bound few- and many-electron systems using advanced spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Scientific Awards: Recipient of multiple prestigious honors, including the ERC Advanced Grant, Otto-Hahn Medal, and Helmholtz Prize, recognizing his contributions to precision experimental physics.
