[2012-01-30] Awards for Diploma Degree Theses
Academic excellence at the Johannes Kepler University is proven time and again. Two Diploma degree theses at the Institute for Applied Physics were recently presented with prestigious awards.
Both academic papers received a grade of “1”. DI Bettina Reisinger won the "Wilhelm Macke Award in support of Outstanding Master’s Degree Theses" (supervisor: Prof. J. Heitz). DI Philipp Kolmhofer was presented with the "Wilhelm Macke Recognition Award" (supervisor: Prof. J.D. Pedarnig). Both award recipients are currently pursuing a doctorate degree at the Institute of Applied Physics.
[2011-11-18] „JKU goes Gender“ grant for DIin Bettina Reisinger
DIin Bettina Reisinger’s PhD project „Laserprocessing of functional cell culture substrates“ was assessed by the Jury as excellent, and was awarded the “JKU goes Gender” grant. The price giving will be on November 23, 2011 at 18:00.
[2011-11-03] “Laser Processing and Chemistry”
The fourth edition of Prof. Dieter Bäuerle´s book “Laser Processing and Chemistry” has been published by Springer, Heidelberg. This fourth edition has been enlarged to cover the rapid advances in the understanding of the dynamics of materials under the action of ultrashort laser pulses, and to include a number of new topics, in particular the increasing importance of lasers in various different fields of surface functionalizations and nanotechnology. In two additional chapters, recent developments in biotechnology, medicine, art conservation and restoration are summarized.

[2011-10-20] Successful Evaluation of CD Lab for Laser-Assististed Diagnostics
For the second time, the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Laser-Assisted Diagnostics (LAD, Institute for Applied Physics, JKU) has been positively evaluated. Conducted after five years by international experts and the Christian Doppler Society, the most recent evaluation of both the lab and its directors, a.Prof. Dr. Johannes Heitz and a.Prof. Dr. Johannes Pedarnig, was outstanding.
The CD lab LAD focuses on application oriented base-knowledge research in the field of laser assisted procedures for material diagnostics as well as the development and application of new methods for the quantitative analysis of composite materials (www.jku.at/lad). Partners include the voestalpine Stahl Ltd. and the AVE Österreich Ltd. The CD lab implements laser plasma supported procedures that enable a rapid and precise material analysis, even directly during industrial production. The lab’s additional value lies in the development of a sensitive analysis procedure, education in human resources, developing scientific expertise, and effective knowledge transfer between industry and research institutes.
[2010-10-01] Prof. Dr. Thomas A. Klar was appointed Full Professor and head of the Institute of Applied Physics on September 1st, 2010. He is the successor of Prof. Dr. Dr.h.c. Dieter Bäuerle, who headed the institute for more than 30 years.
Previously, Prof. Klar held an Associate Professorship at Ilmenau University of Technology, Germany. His research interest focuses on nanophotonics, in particular on high resolution optical microscopy as well as on optical spectroscopy of solid state nanostructures, such as noble metal nanoparticles or semiconductor clusters. Recently, Prof. Klar received an “ERC Starting Grant” endowed with 1,5 million euros.
