Klaus Lips
Klaus Lips is Professor for Physics at the Freie Universität Berlin (FUB); Germany and holds two Adjunct Professorships at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA and Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. He is heading the department Spins in Energy Materials and Quantum Information Science (ASPIN) at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) in Berlin and is speaker and coordinator of a large German research network devoted to the development and application of the EPRoC technology (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance On a Chip). Klaus studied physics at the University of Leiden, (Netherlands) and University of Marburg (Germany), where he received his PhD in 1994. He worked at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Colorado, USA and joined HZB, formerly Hahn-Meitner Institut Berlin in 1996. His research interests are transport and defect states in semiconductor materials, novel solar cell technologies, and the application and development of new EPR- and NMR-based techniques for material research and detection of ultra-small spin ensembles (quantum sensors). Klaus has pioneered electrical detection of spin coherence in silicon and is author of over 200 journal papers and holds 14 patents (several for EPRoC) and has given over 160 invited lectures at many national and international conferences and research schools. Klaus has received many scientific prizes among which HZB’s Technology Transfer Prize, which was awarded in 2019 jointly also to Jens Ander (Univ. Stuttgart, Germany) for the development of EPRoC.
Klaus is a passionate triathlete and marathon runner and has participated in numerous competitions.
