Biography:Annette Zippelius
 | This biographical article is written like a résumé. (October 2019) |
Annette Zippelius (born 25 June 1949) is a German physicist at the University of Göttingen.[1] In 1998 she became a Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize winner.[1] Her research focuses on complex fluids and soft matter – materials that are intermediate between conventional liquids and solids. Examples are glasses, polymeric melts or solutions, gels and foams, but also granular matter. With her research group she aims at elucidating the underlying principles of self-organization that govern their behavior.[2][3]
Career
Annette Zippelius studied Physics at the Technical University of Munich and the University of Colorado in Boulder, USA. There she received a master's degree. In 1977 she finished her PhD in Munich. As a postdoc she worked at Harvard University, US, for two years and at Cornell University, US, for a third year. In 1982 she gained her habilitation at Munich. In 1983 she joined the Forschungszentrum Jülich as a researcher.[1]
Since 1988 she is full professor at University of Göttingen, at the Institute for Theoretical Physics.[4]
