Thanks to her consistent and creative approach, Dr. Birte Riechers has pushed the limits of dielectric spectroscopy in several non-standard situations. Her innovative experimental studies on the mechanisms of equilibration in dielectric media subjected to strong electric fields and on physical aging by advanced dielectric setups brought to a deeper understanding of the response of materials to an external disturbance.
