GHN colloquium with Prof. Elke Scheer (University of Konstanz)

Summary

The GHN Colloquium talk series features the female scientists of the Grete Hermann Network (GHN) - an international network of female researchers in condensed matter physics and neighboring research areas. Distinguished female researchers are invited to give a lecture on their research and current projects, as well as about their career paths, to inspire young female scientists in particular, and to exchange ideas. After the official talk there will be an internal GHN networking session.

On February 11, 2026, we are happy to welcome Prof. Dr. Elke Scheerfrom the University of Konstanz who will give a talk on her research on superconducting devices and molecular electronics. Afterwards, she will report on her activities in various decision-making committees, in particular those related to third-party research funding and the awarding of scientific prizes.
