Betti Hartmann is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at University College London (UCL), UK. She obtained her PhD in Theoretical Physics from Oldenburg University (Germany) in 2001. Following her doctoral studies, she held post-doctoral positions at the University of Durham, UK from 2001-2003 and at the Université de Tours, France from 2006-2007. In 2006, she completed her German habilitation, a post-doctoral qualification for lecturers at German universities, at the University of Oldenburg. From 2003 to 2006 and 2007 to 2015, she held a Lecturer position at Jacobs University Bremen, Germany, and in 2015, she was appointed as an Assistant Professor at the Instituto de Física de São Carlos at the Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil. She was promoted to Associate Professor in 2016 and left Brazil to join UCL as a Lecturer in 2021. In October 2023 she has been promoted to Associate Professor.

Her research interests lie in the field of nonlinear phenomena in theoretical physics and applied mathematics, with a particular focus on solitons and black holes. Her research has applications in high-energy physics, including cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics, as well as in low-energy phenomena relevant to condensed matter physics and biophysics.

In 2022, she published a book in German titled 'Vordenkerinnen - Physikerinnen und Philosophinnen durch die Jahrhunderte' in collaboration with a philosopher. The book highlights the achievements of female scientists throughout history.

Jutta Kunz has been a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Oldenburg since 1993. She obtained her Diploma in Physics from the University of Gießen and completed her PhD in 1982 after a year of graduate studies at the University of Washington, Seattle. She held post-doctoral positions at LANL, Los Alamos from 1982 to 1984, in Gießen from 1984 to 1987, at NIKHEF, Amsterdam from 1987 to 1990, and finally at RU Utrecht from 1990 to 1992. In 1989, she obtained her habilitation at the University of Oldenburg, where she was appointed as a professor in 1993. Since 2012, she has been one of two speakers of the Research Training Group 'Models of Gravity' of the German Physical Society.

Jutta Kunz began her career in nuclear physics and later transitioned to intermediate energy physics and high-energy physics with applications to cosmology. Since moving to Oldenburg, her research has primarily focused on gravitational physics, specifically investigating astrophysical objects such as black holes and neutron stars, as well as hypothetical objects like boson stars and wormholes. She has always been dedicated to supporting young female scientists, having supervised a total of 25 PhD students, with 14 of them being women. In 2018, she organized the German Conference of Women in Physics in collaboration with the Working Group on Equal Opportunities (AKC) of the German Physical Society at the University of Oldenburg.

Betti Hartmann目前是英國倫敦大學學院（UCL）數學系的副教授。她於2001年在德國Oldenburg大學獲得理論物理學博士學位。在博士研究期間，她曾在英國杜倫大學（2001-2003年）和法國圖爾大學（2006-2007年）擔任博士後職位。2006年，她在Oldenburg大學完成了德國的資格教學資格（habilitation）。從2003年到2006年和2007年到2015年，她在德國雅各布斯大學布雷梅分校擔任講師職位，並於2015年被任命為巴西聖卡洛斯物理研究所的助理教授。她於2016年晉升為副教授，並於2021年離開巴西加入UCL擔任講師。2023年10月，她晉升為副教授。

她的研究興趣主要集中在理論物理學和應用數學中的非線性現象，特別關注孤立子和黑洞。她的研究在高能物理（包括宇宙學、天體物理學和粒子物理學）以及與凝聚態物理和生物物理相關的低能現象中有應用。

2022年，她與一位哲學家合作出版了一本名為《Vordenkerinnen - Physikerinnen und Philosophinnen durch die Jahrhunderte》的德文書籍。該書突出了女性科學家在歷史上的成就。

Jutta Kunz自1993年起擔任德國Oldenburg大學的理論物理學教授。她在Gießen大學獲得物理學學士學位，並在1982年在華盛頓大學西雅圖分校進行研究生學習後於1982年獲得博士學位。她曾在1982年至1984年間在洛斯阿拉莫斯國家實驗室（LANL）擔任博士後職位，在1984年至1987年間在Gießen擔任博士後職位，在1987年至1990年間在荷蘭阿姆斯特丹的NIKHEF擔任博士後職位，最後在1990年至1992年間在荷蘭烏特勒支大學擔任博士後職位。1989年，她在Oldenburg大學獲得資格教學資格，並於1993年被任命為教授。自2012年以來，她一直是德國物理學會“引力模型”研究培訓小組的兩位發言人之一。

Jutta Kunz的職業生涯始於核物理學，後來轉向中能量物理學和高能物理學，並應用於宇宙學。自移居Oldenburg以來，她的研究主要集中在引力物理學，特別是研究天體物理對象（如黑洞和中子星）以及假設對象（如玻色子星和蟲洞）。她一直致力於支持年輕女性科學家，共指導了25名博士生，其中14名是女性。2018年，她與德國物理學會的平等機會工作組（AKC）合作，在Oldenburg大學組織了德國女性物理學家會議。
