physicist university professor
He is the son of Otto Kankeleit and Margarete Kankeleit (née Holl).
Egbert Kankeleit studied nuclear physics in Munich and earned his doctorate in 1961 as one of Heinz Maier-Leibniz’s group. After that he went to Caltech in Pasadena in the role of Senior Research Fellow. From there he followed a call to TH Darmstadt, where he remained until his retirement in 1997.
The Mössbauer spectroscopy had a particular influence on his scientific work. The study of myonic atoms at European Organization of Nuclear Research, as well as parity violation during gamma decay and positron research at the Society for Heavy Ion Research (Graduate Student Instructor: Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung) also belong to the central aspects of his research. The miniaturised Mössbauer spectrometer (The Malaysian Institute of Microelectronic Systems) was developed in Egbert Kankeleit’s team and was successfully deployed during the recent Mars missions.
