Robert Huber the studied general physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich, Germany, where he received his PhD for work on ultrafast electron transfer processes at dye-semiconductor surfaces in 2002. From 2002-2003 Robert Huber worked as Postdoc at the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the J. W. Goethe University in Frankfurt. From 2003 to 2006 he joined the group of Prof. J. G. Fujimoto at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as postdoctoral associate. Since 2007 he leads an independent research group at the LMU Munich in the Emmy Noether program of the DFG and the ERC starting grant program of the European Union. His group was partner in the European consortium “FUN-OCT”. Robert Huber coauthored more than 90 peer reviewed publications and holds more than 6 patents. In 2003 he received the Albert-Weller award from the German Chemical Society for an outstanding PhD thesis, in 2008 he received the Rudolf-Kaiser for his work on femtosecond spectroscopy and the development of Fourier domain mode locked lasers. In 2011 and 2012 he was ranked amongst the top 40 young talents in the field of science in Germany by the business magazine "Capital". Since September 2013 Robert Huber is a professor for biomedical imaging at the Institute of Biomedical Optics at the University zu Lübeck.
