Lecturer: Stefan Blügel is a Full Professor at the Department of Physics of German Excellence University RWTH Aachen and he is the Institute Director of the department Quantum Theory of Materials member of the Peter Grünberg Institute and the Institute for Advanced Simulation.
He studied Physics at the University of Saarbrücken in Germany, at the College of William and Mary in Virginia (US), and at the RWTH Aachen University where he finished his Master degree in physics in 1977, his PhD in Physics in 1988, and his Habilitation in Physics in 1996.
He was a postdoc between 1988 and 1990 with Professor Terakura at the Institute for Solid State Physics at the Tokyo University in Tokyo Japan.
The scientific key-interest of Stefan Blügel lies in the field of Density functional theory in combination with magnetism, spintronics, spin-orbit related phenomena, low-dimensional physics, 2D-materials, and quantum materials. He and his group develop all-electron density functional theory methods for these fields, in particular, the Full-potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave open-source code FLEUR and also Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green function methods. He tries to develop these methods in the direction of exascale and high-throughput computing. He is one of the discoverers of the interface Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction.
He advised about 77 PhD students, published about 520 papers in refereed journals which have cited about 22000 times. He received several national prizes and a Synergy Grant of the European Research Council.
