Curriculum Vitae

Stienkemeier, Frank (German, born 1963) is Full Professor for Experimental Physics at the University of Freiburg. He is expert in laser spectroscopic methods including femtosecond time-resolved techniques and coherent multidimensional spectroscopy. In order to resolve quantum state specific properties, isolated unperturbed atomic and molecular complexes at cold or ultracold temperatures are probed such as gas-phase atomic, molecular or cluster beams, or cluster-isolated molecular complexes. In particular helium nanodroplet isolation techniques at millikelvin temperatures are pursued. He got his doctoral degree in Physics at the University of Bielefeld, continuing as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University. After getting his Habilitation at the University of Bielefeld and a position as “Hochschuldozent” he accepted a Full Professorship at the University of Freiburg. Since then he had Guest Professorships at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada. He was the coordinator of the LDM project (Low Density Matter Beamline) at the XUV Free Electron Laser FERMI, Trieste, was awarded with an ERC Advanced Grant in 2016, and is Spokesperson of the DFG-funded International Graduate School 2079 “Cold Controlled Ensembles in Physics and Chemistry”, University of Freiburg – UBC, Vancouver.
