Christian Hackenberger studied undergraduate Physics at the TU in Munich, before completing his PhD in theoretical solid state Physics at the Center for Electronic Correlations and Magnetism at the University of Augsburg. During his studies he learned to use image editing, 3D imaging, and animation tools, becoming completely amazed by the possibilities. After finishing his PhD he took the chance to use both his education in physics and his imaging expertise, joining the team of Ferenc Krausz in 2008. Today, he works together with an international team of scientists on every aspect of science visualisation, whether it is designing covers, developing and producing animations to explain the details of physics to a broader audience, or preparing graphs, illustrations, and images for publications, press releases, and talks.
