Biography

Felser studied chemistry and physics at the University of Cologne and in 1994 became postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Solids State Research in Stuttgart.[2] From 1995 to 1996, she was a postdoc at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique in Nantes, France.[2] In 1999, she was a visiting professor at Princeton University and, in 2000, she was a visiting professor at the University of Caen.[2] She worked as assistant professor at the University of Mainz at first and is a full professor at the University of Mainz since 2003.[2] From 2009 to 2010 she was visiting professor at Stanford University and as of December 2011 is a director of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids.[2] She is also the chairwoman of a German Research Foundation research group.[3] She was a member of the 13th Bundesversammlung (Germany).[4]

Research

Her research focuses on the design and synthesis of new materials, materials for energy technologies (solar cells, thermoelectrics, catalysis), spintronics, Heusler compounds, topological materials and photoemission.[5]
