Jutta Kunz (born 6 July 1955) is a German physicist, specializing in quantum field theory and general relativity. Her work focuses on the gravity in four and higher dimensions: models of gravity, black holes, wormholes, solitons, neutron stars, boson stars, boson shells, black rings and black branes.
Kunz obtained her master's degree (Diplom) in physics from Justus-Liebig University, Giessen, Germany (1978). She did her graduate studies in Physics at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA (1978–79). She obtained her Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat. (summa cum laude)) (1982). She held the Post-Doc position at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, USA (1982–84) and subsequently the position of a Hochschulassistentin (C1) at the Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Germany (1984–87). She held the fellowship of the DFG at Nikhef, Amsterdam, the Netherlands (1987–89).
She received her Dr. Habil from the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany (1989). She held the position of a research assistant at NIKHEF, Amsterdam, the Netherlands (1989–90) and then a research assistant position at the RU Utrecht, the Netherlands (1990–92). Finally in 1993, she became a professor (C3) at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany where she continues to be a professor till date.[1][2]
