Education

Naroska studied physics at Göttingen from 1963 to 1971. Afterwards, Naroska earned her PhD at the University of Hamburg for the photoproduction of protons and nuclei, using DESY machines.

Career

From 1972 until 1978, Naroska worked at CERN, working with a group led by Carlo Rubbia on diffractive processes. In 1978, Naroska returned to DESY, where she worked on the JADE collaboration, working with particle accelerators. During that time, Naroska was responsible for the project's time-of-flight system.

In 1989, Naroska became a professor at the University of Hamburg. During her time as a professor, Naroska continued to work with particle accelerators, serving as one of the leading scientists for the H1 collaboration, working with the HERA particle accelerator, which ran until 2007.

From 1989 until 2005, Naroska was a part of the University of Hamburg's Department of Physics until 2005, and then served the rest of her years on the departments of mathematics, computer science, and natural sciences until her death on February 17, 2008.
