Dr. Christian Wittweg starting as Assistant Professor at Imperial College London
We congratulate former postdoctoral researcher Dr. Christian Wittweg on starting his new academic position as Assistant Professor at Imperial College London in December 2025.
Christian is working on direct dark matter searches and neutrino physics with xenon detectors. He specialises in data analysis and the development of new calibration sources for neutrinoless double-beta decay searches. This work will contribute to the realisation of the future XLZD astroparticle physics observatory.
Additionally, he is working on low-energy nuclear recoil detection based on permanent crystal lattice defects. This new method is currently being developed for fundamental research on dark matter and neutrinos, but also has potential applications in neutron spectroscopy, dating and measurements of coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering from various sources.
