Jens Hauslage

Jens Hauslage has studied biology and plant physiology from the Institute of Gravitational Biology, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany, under the supervision of A. Sievers and M. Braun from 1999 to 2005. He received the Ph.D. degree (Magna cum laude) from the University of Bonn in 2008. After his diploma in biology, he got a Ph.D. grant to unravel the functional mechanisms of gravity sensing in plants. As leading PI participates several parabolic plane flight and sounding rocket campaigns with self-developed experimental setups and facilities for using under microgravity. He started to work in the German Aerospace Center, Russia. First time in the development of ground base facilities to produce functional weightlessness for small organisms, cell cultures, and plants. Besides his research activities at the DLR, he gave lecturers at the University of Bonn, University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany; the International Space University, Strasburg, France; the University of Erlangen, Erlangen, Germany; and the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, Moscow, Russia. Dr. Hauslage was an Editor of the Journal Microgravity, Science and Technology and an Active Reviewer of Acta Astronautica, Reach, Microgravity Science and Technology, and the Life Science for Space Research.
