Thomas Klinger, born in 1965 in Eutin/Germany,
studied physics at the Christian-Albrechts University of Kiel. After a
research period in France he obtained his PhD in 1994 with a thesis on
non-linear plasma dynamics. As a research assistant at the University of
Kiel, Klinger was concerned with drift wave turbulence and nonlinear
plasma structures. As visiting scientist he conducted research at the
Alfvén Laboratory in Stockholm, the Centre de Physique Théorique and the
Université Aix-Provence in Marseille and Max-Planck-Institute of Plasma
Physics in Garching. He obtained his habilitation in 1998 with a thesis
on the control of plasma instabilities. Shortly thereafter he was
appointed Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of
Greifswald, where he has headed the Institute of Physics as chair from
2000 till 2001. In April 2001 he was appointed as Scientific Member of
the Max-Planck Society and Director at the Max-Planck-Institute of
Plasma Physics (IPP) in Greifswald. He is head of the "Stellarator
Dynamics and Transport" Division and since 2005 scientific director of
the project Wendelstein 7-X.
