Biography
Sandner studied physics at the
Sandner dealt with the interaction of atoms and plasmas with high intensity laser light and the occurring nonlinear phenomena, the study of ionization and the relativistic plasma dynamics, the acceleration of particles with lasers and the development of UV and X-ray lasers (Table Top X-Ray ), lasers for ultrashort pulses of high intensity and the free-electron laser.
Since 1996, he was a Fellow of the American Physical Society. From 2003 to 2013 he was the coordinator of the European network Laserlab Europe, where 30 of the largest European laser research institutions are united from 16 EU Member Equip. Between 2010 and 2012 was president of Sandner German Physical Society. After that, he was the Vice President for two years. In 2014, he was chairman of the Association of European-level Research Infrastructure Facilities (ERF AISBL), an association of large European research institutions.[2] Sandner died on 5 December 2015.
