Full profile: Prof. Dr. Tim Langen is a professor of experimental quantum physics at TU Wien, where he is leading the research division on Cold Molecules and Quantum Technologies. Before that, he was a group leader and deputy professor at the University of Stuttgart, a postdoctoral fellow at JILA in Boulder, and studied physics in Vienna, Paris, Mainz and Marseille.

Tim Langen has made a large number of important and widely recognized contributions to many aspects of atomic, molecular, and quantum physics. These include the observation of a novel supersolid state of matter, advances in direct molecular cooling and landmark studies of the non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems. He has received several prestigious international prizes and fellowships, among them an ERC Starting Grant, the Rudolf Kaiser Prize 2019, the Runner-up New Journal of Physics Early Career Award 2017, and the QEOD Thesis Award of the European Physical Society 2015. He has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications and is an Editorial Board member for New Journal of Physics.
