Prof. Michael Dürr

Michael Dürr is a professor of Experimental Physics at Justus Liebig University Giessen (Germany). He received his PhD in physics from the Technical University of Munich (Germany) in 2000 for surface science experiments conducted at the MPI for Quantum Optics, Garching (Germany) and Columbia University, New York (NY, USA). After a postdoctoral stay in Marburg (Germany), he was scientist at Sony’s Materials Science Laboratories (Stuttgart, Germany; Atsugi, Japan) and professor at the University of Applied Sciences Esslingen (Germany). He has been at the Institute of Applied Physics in Giessen since 2013. His research interests include chemical physics of semiconductor surfaces, in particular reaction dynamics of organic molecules and the controlled growth of organic layers on silicon; soft cluster-induced desorption/ionization mass spectrometry; and the investigation of ion-induced modifications in soft matter. He has published 150+ papers including several review articles. More information can be found on: www.uni-giessen.de/duerr
