About the Speaker
After studies of physics at the Universities of Hamburg and Heidelberg, Germany Lorenz Willmann started his graduate work at the University of Heidelberg at the intersection of atomic physics and high energy physics. His thesis work was on establishing a world leading limit on a process on the lepton number violating process in the leptonic sector. These experiments brought him to extended research stays to the Paul Scherrer Instittute, Villigen, CH and the Rutherford Appleton Lab, Chilton, UK. Postodictoral work lead Dr. Willmann to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MA, USA, where he worked on optical two-photon spectroscopy of ultracold trapped hydrogen, a system in which they achieved Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) in 1998. In 2001 Dr. Willmann moved to the Netherlands to accept a position to build a facility for studies of Fundamental Interaction and Symmetries with radioactive Atoms (TRIμP). They initiated experimental research radioactive atoms for the study of Lorentz symmetry violation, observation of parity violation in atomic systems and searches for permanent electric dipole moments in a number of systems. In 2014, Dr. Willmann joined the Van Swinderen Institute for Particle Physics and Gravity as a founding member. They continue research on the questions of fundamental symmetries in the Standard Model with experimental approaches and theoretical descriptions.
