In addition to his Bielefeld activities, he served on the staff of Brookhaven National Laboratory (1985 - 1989) and at CERN (1089 - 1996), specifically to carry out research on the physics of the Quark-Gluon-Plasma, the state of matter which made up the very early universe and which is presently being studied in high energy nuclear collision experiments. Professor Satz has been a great inspiration to his colleagues as well as his students, many of whom graduated under his supervision. After his retirement, he wasfrom 2002 to 2004 Gulbenkian professor at the Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal.
