Visiting Prof. Dr. Christopher Eichler, Chair of Experimental Physics
Each semester, FAU President Prof. Dr. Joachim Hornegger visits professors who are new to FAU. He visits them in their institutions to talk about their research, to discover what is close to their heart and to get to know them better.
Our series introduces you to the researchers and gives an impression of the President’s meeting with them.
In this episode, the President visits Prof. Dr. Christopher Eichler. He holds the Chair of Experimental Physics and is PI of the FAU LMQ.
