Dr. Hans-Jörg Fecht
Dr. Hans J. Fecht is chaired professor and director of the Institute of Micro and Nanomaterials in the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Sciences at Ulm University, Ulm, Germany. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science in 1984 from the University of Saarbrücken, Germany. After working several years in different post-doctoral research positions in the U.S. (University of Wisconsin–Madison and California Institute of Technology, Pasadena) he returned to Germany to hold professorships at the University of Augsburg (C-3 metals physics 1990-1993), Technical University Berlin (full professor 1993-1997) and Ulm University (full professor since 1997). Since 2001 he is additionally senior scientist at the Institute of Nanotechnology INT at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology KIT (a leading government laboratory, formerly nuclear research center) having access to complementary sophisticated experimental facilities. He also holds Adjunct Professor Positions in China, India and Japan. Altogether, he directs a research group of about 30 Post-Docs, PhD students, graduate students and technicians. He has (co)authored approximately 400 publications, most of them in internationally leading journals. Several of his papers have been cited in the literature hundred times (h-index 30), and some are considered groundbreaking contributions.
