From Quantum Science to Automotive Technology - Careers outside Academia

22.10.2018 13:30 - 16:30

Join this event part of the lecture course “Science Career Development II – translating your research into practice”!

Prof. Markus Arndt | Molecular Quantum Optics & Quantum Nanophysics, University of Vienna

Matter-wave experiments with complex biomolecules are intriguing because they probe quantum mechanics in a new complexity regime. Hundreds of atoms are covalently bound in an internally agitated, semi-classical object and yet delocalized in its center-of-mass motion. Such experiments require novel source and detection techniques which have been and will be developed in our lab and shall be presented in this talk.

Dr. Markus Marksteiner | Robert Bosch AG – Linz, Austria

In 1886 Robert Bosch opened his workshop "Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering"the precursor of the later Robert Bosch GmbH. Since then, Bosch is standing for a vast number of innovations - reflected in the Bosch slogan "Invented for life". The basis for this success are the Bosch engineers, who combine a variety of different scientific areas. This talk will give some insights into a physicist’s life outside academia and emphasis why it can be fun too.
