Biography:Ute Ebert
Ute M. Ebert is a German physicist known for her research on plasma physics and electric discharge in gases. She is a researcher in the Netherlands at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, where she heads the research group on multiscale dynamics,[1] and a part-time full professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology, affiliated with the Elementary Processes in Gas Discharges group.[2]
Education and career
Ebert was a physics student at Heidelberg University from 1980 to 1987, and at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem from 1987 to 1988. She completed a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in 1994 at the University of Essen.[1][2]
After postdoctoral research at Leiden University, she became a researcher at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in 1998, and added her part-time affiliation with the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in 2002.[1][2]
Research
Ebert's doctoral dissertation, Diffusion langer Polymerketten in einem eingefrorenen Zufallsmedium: eine Renormierungsgruppenanalyse, concerned the use of renormalization to analyze the diffusion of polymers;[3] she also studied phytoplankton dynamics before shifting to her present interest in gas discharges. Her research projects on this topic at CWI are more theoretical, while her work at TU/e is experimental and applied.[2]
Recognition
Ebert won the Minerva Prize, a biennial prize for the best Dutch physics publication by a woman, in 2004.[4] She has been a member of the Koninklijke Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen since 2006.[1]
