Curriculum
Vitae
Klaus Pfeilsticker studied physics
(1974-1985) at the Universities of Ulm, Heidelberg (both
Germany), and Beer-Sheba (Israel). He received his physics diploma, and PhD from the University
of Heidelberg in 1981 and 1985, respectively. He held
post-doc positions at various research institutions
including the MPI-Kernphysik in
Heidelberg, the Forschungzentrum
Jülich, and at the University of
Heidelberg. In 1998, he has been habilitated at the
University of Heidelberg,
Germany. In 1999/2000, he joined the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Aeronomy
Laboratory at Boulder Co, USA for a sabbatical leave
sponsored by the US National Research Council. In 2001, he
became guest professor with the Anhui Institute of Optical
and Fine Mechanics (AIOFM) the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)/China, and in 2003 with the
University of Perugia/Italy. In 2005, he was nominated
professor (apl) at the University
of Heidelberg.
His research interests focus on physics of the environment,
including the atmospheric photochemistry, the radiative transfer of the Earth's
atmosphere, random walks on fractals, isotopes in the
atmospheric environment, and UV/vis
spectrometry. He actively took part in quite a suited of
field internationally organized and sponsored campaigns
(CHEOPS 3, EASOE, SESAME, THESEO, ARESE 2, EuroSOLVE, SCOUT-O3, EU-SHIVA,
NASA-ATTREX, .....) that aimed at the investigation of the
Earth ozone layer, the deposition of the solar radiation in
the atmosphere, and the isotopic composition of the
atmosphere and hydrosphere. He is also actively involved in
stratospheric ozone research by co-leading the French/German
LPMA/DOAS (Laboratoire Physique
Molèculaire et
Application/Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy)
cooperation. Within the cooperation, UV/visible/near IR
solar occultation measurements have been performed from the
LPMA/DOAS balloon gondola, that were successfully launched
on many occasions at low (Brazil), mid- (France, Spain), and
high latitudes (Sweden) during all seasons.
Most recently his research group participated in
aircraft-borne UV/Limb measurement from aboard the German
research aircraft HALO, the high altitude aircraft
Geophysica and since recently from the NASA's UAV Global
Hawk. Further, he has been actively developing the high
resolving oxygen A-band spectrometry, a novel technique that
provides new insights into the atmospheric radiative transfer. Moreover, major
research results has been achieved in the UV/vis/near-IR spectroscopy of collisional, metastable
and stable dimers (O2-O2,
H2O-H2O, H2O-O2, H2O-N2, ....) in the atmosphere. In total,
he has been involved in 35 nationally, or internationally
funded research projects. He first-authored, or contributed
to more than 120 publications in peer reviewed international
journals and 3 book chapters. He
also contributed as author/contributors to the UNEP/WMO
assessment reports on stratospheric ozone published in 2002,
2006,
2010,
and 2014.

Teaching
Klaus Pfeilsticker
has a long standing experience in teaching on a graduate and
post-graduate level. His teaching
experiences include graduate classes and seminars of general
physics, lectures and seminar in environmental Physics. His
teaching experience includes seminars and tutorials for
post-graduate student, tutorials with written exercises that
cover the whole range of physical studies conducted by
graduate students.
