On September 29th, Dr. Doris Reiter, group leader in the department of physics and head of the Dortmund Graduate School of Physics (DGSP), was awarded with the title of an extraordinary professor.

Dr. Reiter has been working at the Faculty of Physics since spring 2022. Her research focuses on the theoretical description and computer-aided simulations of structures made of semiconductor materials, especially so-called quantum dots, but also of metallic structures that act like antennas for visible light. The simulations help to predict how their dynamics can be controlled, which is of crucial importance for applications in the field of quantum information technology. In addition to her work as an independent research group leader, she heads the Dortmund Graduate School of Physics (DGSP), which coordinates doctoral training at the faculty. Dr. Reiter also makes valuable contributions to the faculty's teaching with her highly evaluated lectures and seminars in the field of solid-state physics and quantum optics. Her many years of outstanding research and teaching activities have now been honored with the award of an extraordinary professorship.
