Claudia Draxl is a physicist.[1] She is a full professor at the Humboldt University of Berlin in theoretical condensed-matter physics.

Life

From 1978 to 1983, Draxl studied mathematics and physics at the University of Graz.[1] She received her doctorate at the University of Graz in theoretical physics in 1987.[1] She finished her habilitation at University of Graz in 1996.[2] From 1996 to 1997, she was a lecturer at the University of Graz.[1] From 1997 to 1998, she was an associate professor at the University of Graz.[1] She was the director of the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Graz from 1999 to 2001, and the deputy director of the very same institute from 2001 to 2004.[1] From 2005 to 2011, she was a university professor at the University of Leoben and had the chair for Atomistic Modelling and Design of Materials.[1] Since 2011, she is a university professor at the Humboldt University of Berlin and has the chair of theoretical condensed-matter physics.[1]
