OccupationTheoretical physicist

Susanne Friederike Viefers (born 1970) is a German-Norwegian theoretical physicist interested in low-dimensional quantum systems including the Quantum Hall effect, Bose–Einstein condensates, and anyons. She is a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Oslo in Norway.

Education and career

Viefers was born on 28 March 1970 in Orsoy, Germany.[1] She moved to Norway as a teenager,[2] but retains her German citizenship.[1] She did all of her studies at the University of Oslo, earning a bachelor's degree in 1992, a master's degree in 1993, and a doctorate (Dr. Sci.) in 1997. Her dissertation was Field theory of anyons and the fractional quantum Hall effect.[1]

After postdoctoral research at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland, and at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, she returned to the University of Oslo as an associate professor in 2002, and she was promoted to full professor in 2007.[1]

Recognition

Viefers was elected to the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in 2017.[3]
