Congratulations 🎉 to Clara Wanjura, who won the annual thesis award of the German Physical Society's #DPG section for atoms, molecules, quantum optics, and photonics.
She won the award for her work on non-Hermitean topology in the group of Andreas Nunnenkamp at #Cambridge. Clara is now a postdoc in the theory division at the @MPI_ScienceOfLight in #Erlangen, where she started exciting research into #neuromorphic computing.
Delighted to have received one of the 15 per year "CMS shifter mug 2023” for my contributions as shift leader in the last 2 months of the year, and my integrated support in 2023.
As expected from the name of this #prize that rewards #teamwork, the prize is this lovely mug!
