Beate Naroska Guest Professorship
Beate Naroska (1943–2008) was a professor in experimental particle physics at the Universität Hamburg from 1989 to 2008. She was an excellent scientist, a devoted teacher and a mentor of many young scientists. She performed most of her research at DESY and CERN and made pivotal contributions to a wide range of questions in particle physics using data from the ISR, PETRA and HERA accelerators.
This guest professorship programme of the Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe at Universität Hamburg has been established in her honour. The guest professorship will be awarded annually to two successful female scientists who distinguish themselves not only by their excellent research in one of the research areas of Quantum Universe (Higgs physics, Dark Matter, Gravitational Waves, Quantum Theories) but also by being a visible role model for women in the discipline.
The 2024 Beate Naroska guest professorships have been awarded on April 22nd 2025 to Dr. Ursula Bassler and Dr. Azadeh Maleknejad. For more information visit the indico website.
