Bio
Erwin Flückiger, born in 1943, is a retired physics professor specializing in cosmic rays. From 1997 to 2009 he headed the cosmic ray research group at the Physikalisches Institut of the University of Bern, Switzerland. For ten years he also acted as the Director, and from 2010 to 2016 as the President of the “International Foundation High Altitude Research Stations Jungfraujoch and Gornergrat”.
Erwin’s scientific work covers a broad field of topics, e.g. the acceleration of particles at and near the Sun, the propagation of solar cosmic rays in the interplanetary and near-Earth space, solar-terrestrial phenomena, and space weather. He played a key role in the first detection of the presence of solar neutrons near Earth by ground-based detectors, and in the development of novel methods for the analysis of galactic cosmic ray variations and solar cosmic ray events during geomagnetically active time periods. He also participated in the design of new types of neutron detectors with a broad cross-disciplinary perspective of applications.
Erwin Flückiger, who is a long-time member of EURADOS Working Group 11, has been serving the scientific community in numerous ways, e.g. as coordinator of international research projects, reviewer, and expert activity. From 2005 to 2014 he was a member of the IUPAP C4 Commission of Astroparticle Physics, where he served as vice president during his last term there.
