Academic career

Aeschlimann studied experimental physics at the ETH Zürich (1980–1985) and was awarded his Ph.D. in physics for his thesis "Magnetism at Surfaces and Ultrafast Magnetization Reversal Studies with Spin-Polarized Photoemission" in 1989. From 1985 to 1989 Aeschlimann was assistant to Prof. H. C. Siegmann at the laboratory for solid-state physics at ETH Zürich. From 1989 to 1990 he took a postdoctoral position at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Washington, D.C.. The following year Aeschlimann became a research associate at the NSF-Center for Photoinduced Charge Transfer at the University of Rochester. From 1993 to 1998 he was a member of the research staff at the laboratory of technical chemistry at ETH Zürich. In November 1996 he habilitated with his thesis: "Time Resolved Studies of Electron Relaxation at Metal Surfaces" [3] following his promotion to professor of experimental physics at the University of Duisburg-Essen In July 2000 he accepted a permanent position as professor and later in 2008 as Dean of the physics department at the University of Kaiserslautern. He was later succeeded by Michael Fleischhauer and now officiates as Vice Dean of the physics department. From 2002 to 2008 he was a member of the steering committee of the DFG priority programme 1133 "Ultrafast Magnetization Processes". In addition, Aeschlimann was spokesperson of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG) professional association on surface science (2008–2010). Since 2008 he is spokesman of the DFG priority programme 1391 "Ultrafast Nanooptics",[4] spokesman of the State Research Center for Optics and Material Sciences (OPTIMAS) and member of the Extended Advisory Board PULSE at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Since 2009 he is also Member of the Editorial Board of the trade magazine New Journal of Physics.

Research

Aeschlimann's research program is devoted to the investigation of ultrafast phenomena on surfaces of solids, thin films and nanoparticles. The focus is directed to the dynamics of electrons, phonons and spin in strongly correlated systems, magnetic materials and organic semiconductors. For the experimental approach, novel methods are constantly developed for measuring such ultrafast relaxation processes in real time with high temporal resolution. This is in general achieved by combining ultrashort pulsed laser systems with surface science technology. Currently, time-resolved photoemission and time-resolved effects are implemented with laser pulses in visible light and the soft X-ray region.

Awards and honours

Profil-II award of the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Publications

Aeschlimann has published more than 100 articles in peer-reviewed international scientific journals,[5]
