Neutrino Physics

Prof. em. Dr. Bogdan Povh erhielt 1965 eine Professur in Physik an der Universität Heidelberg und wurde 1975 zum Direktor an das Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in Heidelberg berufen. Er war jahrelang an der Ausbildung von Medizinern, Naturwissenschaftlern und Physikern beteiligt. Seine Forschungsgebiete sind Kern- und Teilchenphysik und die Anwendung der physikalischen Methoden in der Biologie, Geologie und Planetologie. 2005 bekam er die Stern-Gerlach-Medaille für Experimentalphysik verliehen.
