Achim Seifter joined the Los Alamos National Laboratory in spring 2002.

He is responsible for contact less temperature and emittance measurements on several shock physics experiments. Seifter also conducts basic research towards improving temperature determination on very fast experiments. His other research includes exploring new techniques to determine pressure induced phase transitions.

From 2001 – 2002, Seifter was assistant professor at the University of Technology in Graz, Austria, where he also earned his Ph.D. in Physics.
