Sabine Schindler (born March 24, 1961) is a German astrophysicist whose research has involved both simulations and X-ray observations of galaxy clusters. She is a professor at the University of Innsbruck and rector of UMIT - Private University for Health Sciences, Medical Informatics and Technology, both in Austria.[1]

Education and career

Schindler earned a diploma in physics at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg in 1987, and completed a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in physics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 1992. While a doctoral student, she also worked as a researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, and Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics.[1]

After postdoctoral research supported by the Humboldt Foundation at the University of California, Santa Cruz and Lick Observatory, and continued work as a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and Liverpool John Moores University, she became a full professor at the University of Innsbruck in 2002. There, she directed the Institute for Astro- and Particle Physics from 2004 to 2012, and served as vice rector for research from 2014 to 2017.[1]

While maintaining her affiliation at Innsbruck, Schindler has been rector of UMIT - Private University for Health Sciences, Medical Informatics and Technology since 2014.[1] She has announced her plans to retire as rector in 2020 in order to devote more time to her research, supported by a fellowship from the Swiss-based International Space Science Institute.[2]

Recognition

Schindler became a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in 2006,[1] and has been a full member since 2010.[1][3] She was elected to the International Academy of Astronautics in 2013.[1]
