Biography edit
Lindau was awarded his PhD in 1971 at Chalmers University of Technology with his dissertation about photoemission and optical absorption studies of the band structure.[1] After the dissertation, he began working at the Silicon Valley-based company Varian Associates in Palo Alto between 1971 and 1972 before he was employed at Stanford University in 1972.[2] In 1973 he obtained the first X-ray photoemission spectra of the 4f levels of gold.[3] In 1980 he became a professor at Stanford University for his research in electrical engineering and photonics.[2] During his professorships he took a sabbatical at Lund University between 1988 and 1989, where he worked at MAX Lab to expand its research facility. After his sabbatical ended he return to Lund University to become a professor for his research in synchrotron light physics.[4] In 1991, Lindau succeeded Bengt Forkman as director of the Max Lab. As a director, he was in charge of the creation of the second accelerator for synchrotron radiation research in MAX Lab.[5]
His research has focused on studies of electronic properties of semiconductor surfaces and their boundary layers using synchrotron light.[2] He has also contributed to the production and development of instruments used in synchrotron light systems, both at SLAC and at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource.[6] He was elected as a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences as the 1402th member.[7]
