Ulf Leonhardt
Ulf Leonhardt, FRSE (born October 9, 1965) is a German scientist, born in Schlema, Germany (formerly East Germany). In 2006, he published the first scientific paper on invisibility cloaking with metamaterials at the same time Pendry's group published their paper in the journal Science. He has been involved with the science of cloaking objects since then.[1][2][3][4]
He is a Wolfson Research Merit Award holder from the Royal Society, and he is currently Professor of Physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science. He is involved in research pertaining to metamaterials. Specific disciplines are quantum electrodynamics in media, perfect imaging, optical analogues of the event horizon, reverse casimir effect, metamaterial cloaking, quantum effects of optical phenomena involving Hawking radiation and Light in moving media.[1][5][6][7][8][9]
Career
In 1993, Leonhardt earned his PhD (theoretical physics) from the Humboldt University of Berlin. From 1998 to 2000 he was in Stockholm at the Royal Institute of Technology as a Göran-Gustafsson Fellow. He held the chair (theoretical physics) at the University of St Andrews in Scotland between April, 2000 and 2012. Since 2012 he has been a Professor of Physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science[1]
Awards and honors
Professor Ulf Leonhardt is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He is a recipient of the Otto Hahn Award of the Max Planck Society. In August 2009, the Royal Society's Theo Murphy Blue Skies award allowed Leonhardt to research a new theory for applying metamaterials to optical cloaking full time.[1][10][11]
