K. Ollefs

Katharina Ollefs received the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Duisburg-Essen, Duisburg, Germany, in 2012, building a new setup of X-ray detected ferromagnetic resonance. She held a post-doctoral position at beamline ID12 at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), Grenoble, France, together with Andrei Rogalev. Since her undergraduate studies, she is exploiting X-ray absorption spectroscopy and imaging at various synchrotron radiation facilities and free electron lasers to study different solid-state systems from dilute magnetic semiconductors to magneto-caloric materials. She is currently the Project Leader of the CRC 1242 “Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of Condensed Matter in the Time Domain” and CRC/TRR 270 “Hysteresis Design of Magnetic Materials for Efficient Energy Conversion.”
