Brief Introducation of the speaker/演讲者简介：
Prof. Dr. Manfred Lindner got his Ph.D. in 1987 from Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, Germany. Subsequently, he worked for several years at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, CERN and Heidelberg University. In 1993, he became a professor for theoretical physics at the Technical University in Munich. Since 2007, he has been a professor at the faculty of physics and astronomy of Heidelberg University, and the director of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg.
Prof. Lindner has made many important theoretical contributions to the fundamental problems in elementary particle physics and astroparticle physics, in particular the electroweak symmetry breaking, neutrino physics and dark matter. On the experimental side, Prof. Lindner and his team make leading contributions to the international research projects for neutrino oscillations (Double Chooz), neutrinoless double-beta decays (GERDA), and direct searches for dark matter (XENON100 and XENON1T).
Manfred Lindner于 1987年获得德国慕尼黑大学理论物理博士学位, 随后在美国费米国家实验室、欧洲核子中心和德国海德堡大学从事博士后研究工作, 并于1993年成为慕尼黑技术大学教授。自2007年起, 他被聘为海德堡大学物理与天文系教授, 并出任海德堡马克斯·普朗克核物理研究所所长。
Manfred Lindner教授长期从事基本粒子物理学和粒子天体物理学研究, 特别是对弱电规范对称性破缺、中微子物理和暗物质的理论研究做出了重要贡献。在实验物理方面, 他和其研究团队参与和主导很多重大国际性研究项目, 如反应堆中微子振荡实验Double Chooz、无中微子双贝塔衰变实验GERDA、暗物质直接探测实验XENON100和XENON1T。
