Biographical Sketch:
Dr. Rebane received his Ph.D. in 1985 from the Institute of Physics (now at Tartu University) of the Estonian Academy of Sciences. 1990 - 1996 he was Oberassistent and Privatdozent (lecturer) at the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. He obtained Habilitation (Venia Legendi) in Physical Chemistry in 1996. In the same year he joined the faculty at the Physics Department of the Montana State University, where he is Full Professor since 2003. He has been a Visiting Scientist at University of Southern California and University of Bayreuth (Germany).
Member of American Physical Society, OSA, SPIE and European Physical Society. He is a member of the Optical Technology Center (OPTeC) at MSU.
