Gesine Grosche

Gesine Grosche was born in Göttingen Germany, in 1972. She received the B.A. degree in physics and theoretical physics from the University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK, in 1993 and the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of London, London, UK, in 1997. Her Ph.D. work at Imperial College was devoted to the far-infrared spectroscopy of localized vibrational modes in semiconductors. In 1997, she joined the Technical University Braunschweig, Braunschweig, Germany, and the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Braunschweig, developing laser-Doppler-velocimetry instrumentation for in-flight airplane measurements. Since 2001, she has been with the Optics Division, PTB, leading projects in high-resolution spectroscopy in the optical telecommunication window at 1.5 µm and pioneering remote frequency metrology via optical fiber. She is in charge of the PTB working group on Frequency Dissemination with Fibers, with research interests in optical frequency combs, optical frequency measurements, ultrastable lasers, and remote metrology.
