Alexander Moewes is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics and a Canada Research Chair at the University of Saskatchewan. He is also leading the inelastic scattering endstation of the REIXS beamline at the Canadian Light Source. He obtained his Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics 1995 at the University of Hamburg in Germany at HASYLAB/DESY. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Tulane University and was an assistant professor at Louisiana State University before moving to Canada for his current position. He has published over 270 peer reviewed scientific articles and guided over 35 graduate students. His research lies in Materials Science and Condensed Matter Physics using synchrotron-based soft X-ray spectroscopy techniques and density functional theory. His group currently is focusing on materials for spinelectronic applications, low dimensional systems, and semiconductors for pc-LED materials for lighting applications.
