Prof Klaus Ploog Distinguished Lecturer

Professor Ploog is from the Paul Drude Institute in Germany. His area of research is ferromagnetic semiconductors for spintronics applications.

During his visit to Australia, Professor Ploog gave talks at:

  • The University of Melbourne, Melbourne
  • The Australian National University, Canberra, and
  • The University of New South Wales, Sydney

during his July 2005 visit.

Prof Ploog was also an invited speaker at the International Workshop on Nanotechnology held in Perth, in July.
