Stefan Hell

Stefan W Hull is a scientific member of the Max Planck Society and the director of the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics and Chemistry in G \u00f6 ttingen, currently responsible for the Department of Nanophotonics; Honorary Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of G \u00f6 ttingen and Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Heidelberg. Since 2003, Hull has been leading the high-resolution optical microscopy department at the German Cancer Research Center DKFZ in Heidelberg. He is also a board member of the G \u00f6 ttingen Laser Laboratory and a member of the G \u00f6 ttingen and Heidelberg Academy of Sciences. In 1987, under the advice and guidance of Professor S Hunklinger, Stefan W Hull obtained a degree in physics from the University of Heidelberg and a doctoral degree in 1990. From 1991 to 1993, Hull worked at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg. From 1993 to 1996, he served as a senior researcher at the University of Turku in Finland and as a visiting scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK in 1994. In 1997, he was appointed to work at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in G \u00f6 ttingen, where he established a research group on sub diffraction resolution microscopy, which is also his current research topic. In 2002, after being promoted to director, he established the Department of Nanophotonics. Hull conceived, validated, and applied the first feasible concept, mainly used to destroy Abbeamp in a light focusing microscope; The diffraction limit resolution barrier. And as a result, it has been widely praised. He has published approximately 200 original articles and won multiple awards, including the Leibniz Prize in 2008, the Lower Saxony Prize in 2008, the Ottohan Prize in 2009, the Kavley Prize in 2014, and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014.
