Claudia Felser (28 July 1962 in Aachen) is a German full professor of physics and chemistry at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids.
Biography
Felser studied chemistry and physics at the University of Cologne and in 1994 became postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Solids State Research in Stuttgart.[2] From 1995 to 1996, she was a postdoc at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique in Nantes, France.[2] In 1999, she was a visiting professor at Princeton University and, in 2000, she was a visiting professor at the University of Caen.[2] She worked as assistant professor at the University of Mainz at first and is a full professor at the University of Mainz since 2003.[2] From 2009 to 2010 she was visiting professor at Stanford University and as of December 2011 is a director of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids.[2] She is also the chairwoman of a German Research Foundation research group.[3] She was a member of the 13th Bundesversammlung (Germany).[4]
Research
Her research focuses on the design and synthesis of new materials, materials for energy technologies (solar cells, thermoelectrics, catalysis), spintronics, Heusler compounds, topological materials and photoemission.[5]
