Regina v. Berlepsch studied Physics at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. After finishing her studies, she worked as scientific assistant at the central institute for astrophysics (ZIAP) in Potsdam.

Since 1992, she is leading the scientific documentation center of the Astrophysical Institute in Potsdam (AIP).
