Description

I will summarize my career starting from school where I enjoyed math, then studying physics at a german university and then doing research at several major laboratories and universities world-wide. I spend about 16 years in the UK and the USA before I came back to Germany. Earlier this year I became the first ever female member of the directorial board of DESY, responsible for the area of particle physics. I will try to identify key turning points or events that shaped my career.
