Bert Hecht studied Physics at the University of Konstanz where he graduated in 1993 with the diploma thesis: "Mikroskopie und Spektroskopie im Optischen Nahfeld" supervised by Prof. Dr. O. Marti / Prof. Dr. J. Mlynek. He then joined the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory in Rüschlikon and worked with D.W. Pohl in the area of near-field optics. In 1996 he got his Ph.D. from the University of Basel (Prof. Dr. H.J. Güntherodt) for the thesis "Forbidden Light Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy". Between 1996 and 2001 he was with the Physical Chemistry Laboratory (Prof. U.P. Wild) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) working on optical single-molecule spectroscopy in combination with scanning probe techniques. In 2002 he received the venia legendi in Physical Chemistry from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. In 2001, Bert Hecht was awarded a Swiss National Science Foundation professorship at the Institute of Physics at the University of Basel where he was a member of the National Competence Center for Research in Nanoscale Science (NCCR Nano).
Since October 2006 Bert Hecht is associate professor at the Physics Institute, Experimental Physics 5, of the University of Würzburg. His research is focused on the enhancement of light-matter interaction in using plasmonic nanoantennas and nanoresonators and its applications.
