SPEAKERS > Special session

A special session will be devoted to the memory of

Prof. Fritz Henneberger

from Humboldt University, Berlin. 

The Humboldt University communicates its sadness and dismay for the sudden death of its colleague. The Institute of Physics he belonged to, will miss an oustanding scientist whose commitment to research, teaching and academic administration promoted the development of the institute significantly. 

Fritz Henneberger received his PhD in 1980 from the Humboldt University and was awarded in 1986 with the Heinrich-Hertz Prize from the Physical Society of GDR for his work on optical non-linearity and bistability in II-VI semiconductors. He became full Professor of the Humboldt University in 1993. During the first decade of 21st century, he was director of the Institute of Physics and influenced considerably the structure of the institute. He initiated optics and photonics in structured composite systems involving organic/inorganic semiconductors and oxydes (ZnO). For these investigations he became quickly an internationnally reknown scientist.

In his memory, Sascha Kalusniak (Humboldt), will give an invited talk on ZnO-based plasmonics .
