معرفی
Prof. Wolf Gero Schmidt is a Full Professor (W3) of Theoretical Physics at the University of Paderborn, serving as Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Head of Theoretical Materials Physics. He leads the Center for Optoelectronics and Photonics (CeOPP) and is a member of the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing (PC²). His research focuses on energy materials for photoelectrolysis/photovoltaics, photonic materials, and solid-state qubit systems. Key projects include optimizing triplet exciton transfer at organic-inorganic interfaces and studying lithium niobate's polaron signatures. Notable awards include the 2007 Paderborn University Research Award and the 2003 Outstanding Habilitation Award from Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena.
Education highlights include a PhD in Physics (1997, Jena) and habilitation (2002). He held roles at Massey University (Assoc. Prof, 2005) and North Carolina State University (Adjunct Assistant Prof, 2001). His >150 publications span topics like silicon dangling bonds, quantum materials, and photocatalytic interfaces. Current teaching includes 'Theoretische Physik A' and 'Aktuelle Fragen der Materialphysik'.
