Description

After studying physics at the TU Munich and taking some time off for her family, Silke returned to working life by giving physics tours for school classes at the Deutsches Museum. As part of the position at the Museum Pedagogical Centre, she also developed concepts and conducted training courses for teachers and educators.

In 2010 Silke had the opportunity to set up the PhotonLab at MPQ. It was like a "home-coming", because this is actually, where she did her diploma thesis. Since then, she continues to be excited to see the great interest teachers and students show in the experiments and other offers within the PhotonLab.

• Head of the PhotonLab Student Laboratory
• Implementation of school class programs
• Mentoring and supervision of interns
• Supervision of seminar or competition work
