Marcus BÄR

Prof. Dr.-Ing Marcus Bär earned his doctorate in electrical engineering in the field of solar energy research at the Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin and at the TU Berlin in 2003. Thereafter, he was an Emmy-Noether Fellow at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas/USA. Since 2018, Prof. Bär is the Head of the Department “Interface Design” at HZB, the Head of the Research Department “X-ray Spectroscopy at Interfaces of Thin Films” at the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy, and Professor for X-ray Spectroscopy at the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Prof. Bär's research interest is the chemical and electronic structure interrogation of energy-conversion materials and structures with a focus on thin-film solar cells by using complementary X-ray spectroscopic methods
