Biography
Susan Schorr has obtained her PhD in physics from the Technical University Berlin in 1995. She was Postdoc in the inelastic neutron scattering group at the Hahn-Meitner-Institute Berlin and Visiting Scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, US. She started as a Research Associate at the University Leipzig where she finished her Habilitation in 2006. At this time she started to work on multinary compound semiconductors for PV applications and developed the average neutron scattering length analysis method to evaluate the materials intrinsic point defects. She went back to the Hahn-Meitner-Institute Berlin (now HZB) to join the Institute of Technology in the Solar Energy Division as a Group Leader. In 2008, she was appointed as Professor for Geo-Materials Research at the Freie Universitat Berlin and became Head of the Department Structure and Dynamics of Energy Materials at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin for Materials and Energy (HZB).
