Martin Bodo Plenio (born 20 May 1968) is a German physicist, Alexander von Humboldt Professor, and Director of the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Ulm University.
He is notable for his work on entanglement theory, quantum technology, hyperpolarisation methods and quantum biology.
Education
[edit]He obtained his Diploma 1992 and Doctorate 1994 in physics from the University of Göttingen.
Career
[edit]In 1995 – 1997, he was a Feodor Lynen Fellow at Imperial College London in the group of Prof. Sir. Peter Knight FRS. He was Lecturer (1998–2001), Senior Lecturer (2001–2003) and Full Professor (2003–2009) at Imperial College London. In 2009 he was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship[1] of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and moved to Ulm University where he is Director of the Institute of Theoretical Physics[2][3] and leads the Controlled Quantum Dynamics group.[4] He held a part-time position at Imperial College London.[5] He was awarded successive European Research Council Synergy in 2012 and in 2019. In 2016 he co-founded NVision Imaging Technologies [6] a technology company in the quantum technologies domain. In 2021 he co-founded QC Design [7] a technology company that is active in the field of quantum information processing technologies.
In 2014 he was awarded €27Million for a research building to establish the Center for Quantum Biosciences of which he is the founding director.[8] The center promotes research at the interface between quantum science and technology and the life sciences.
