After his high school his parents moved to German. He continued his further studies at the Heidelberg University of German. He became a doctorate in physics in the year 1990. For his doctorate his thesis professor was physicist Siegfried Hunk linger also known as solid state physicist. His thesis subject was on “Imaging of transparent microstructures in a confocal microscope”.

He started his professional career from the year 1991. From 1991 till 1993 he worked for the European Molecular Biology Laboratory which was in the place named Heidelberg. While working in the European molecular lab he was successful in proving his principles on 4-Pi microscopy in practical way.

From the year 1993 till the year 1996 he was the group leader in the University of Turku of the country Finland. He worked in the Department of Medical Physics. While working for Turku University he found out the theory of stimulated emission depletion known as STED microscopy. From the year 1993 till 1994 He went for a 6 months program or learning with the scientist at the University of Oxford of the country England. He also obtained habitation due to physics from the University of Heidelberg in the year 1996. On the date of 2002 15th October 2002, he was elected as the director of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry. After that, he added the department of Nanobiophotonics. After the year 2003, he became the head of the department “Optical Nanoscopy division” of the German Cancer Research Centre (DKFZ) in Heidelberg and also a Professor in the University Faculty of Physics and Astronomy at Heidelberg.

He also made a virtual cap group of graduates, professor and other experts. He made this virtual team as a form of lab where people can contribute their ideas for development of principles and theory. He named the virtual lab as Stefan Heller. He also received many prizes and awards during his lifetime. He received noble prize and kavli prize in chemistry in the year 2014. He also found out the solution for hearing loss with the help of Stefan Heller group. His articles and findings are being published by many publications.
