Prof. Dr. Maria Rentetzi is a physicist and a historian. This is reflected clearly in her research: she focuses on the common ground between science and technology, the history of science, the history of diplomacy, political science and international relations. She researches topics such as how responsibility for defining radiation protection measures moved away from scientific organisations to diplomatic organisations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency and the effects this ‘science diplomacy’ had.
