Management of the Institute of Applied Beam Technology completed again

Since the beginning of July 2008 there is a new face in the management of the Bremen Institute of Applied Beam Technology (BIAS): Professor Ralf Bergmann assumed the leadership of the well-known research institute in Bremen together with Professor Frank Vollertsen. Ralf Bergmann succeeds Professor Werner Jüptner and, at the same time, takes over the professorship of “applied optics” at the University of Bremen.

Professor Bergmann, born in 1962, studied physics in Heidelberg and Freiburg, and received his doctorate at the Max-Planck-Institute for solid state research in Stuttgart. Afterwards he researched at the University of New South Wales in Sydney as well as at the University of Stuttgart and habilitated in 1998 at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau. In 2000 he joined the faculty of electrical engineering and information technology at the University of Stuttgart.

From 2001 to 2006 he directed the department of “Applied Physics” in the central research and advance development section of the Robert Bosch GmbH in Gerlingen near Stuttgart, where he was, amongst other things, in charge of the research on optical technologies. In 2006 he finally assumed the direction of the central physical analysis laboratory within the quality management of the business unit automotive electronics of the Robert Bosch GmbH in Reutlingen.
