Tom Seifert

Dr. Tom Seifert acquired his bachelor, master and PhD degrees at the Freie Universität Berlin and the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society. He then worked for two years in the laboratories of the ETH Zurich.

Today, Tom Seifert is involved in the ultrafast physics research in the group of Prof. Kampfrath and leads as CEO the recently founded company TeraSpinTec GmbH. The spin-off of Kampfrath's research group markets worldwide spintronic terahertz emitters, which are specially developed for physics research laboratories.

Dr. Tom Seifert will talk about his way into physics research as well as his tasks and visions as founder and CEO of TeraSpinTec GmbH.

About "Pathways in Physics"

In the online talk series for students of physics, different speakers will talk about their own pathway in physics: why they became physicists, how they recognized what their interests in physics were and how they went about getting positions in research and industry. We invite speakers from the Department of Physics, different research institutions as well as from various industries.
