Deutsche Bunsen-Cesellschaft Awards

摘要

The Deutsche Bunsen-Gesellschaft fur Physikali-sche Chemie (DBG; German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry) recently honored four outstanding scientists at its annual meeting. Hans Jakob Worner (ETH Zurich) received the Nernst Haber Bodenstein Prize, which is awarded to researchers under 40 years old. Worner studied at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne and the ETH Zurich, and received his PhD from the latter institution in 2007 for work supervised by Frederic Merkt. He was a postdoctoral researcher with Christian Jungen at the Laboratoire Aime Cotton, Orsay (2007), and with Paul B. Corkum at the Joint Laboratory for Attosecond Science, Ottawa (2007-2010). He started his independent career at the ETH Zurich and the National Centre of Competence in Research Molecular Ultrafast Science and Technology (NCCR MUST) in 2010. Worner was honored for his work on the observation of time-dependent quantum dynamics of electronic motion in molecules on the sub-femtosecond scale. He is particularly interested in the development of new forms of spectroscopy that rely on the coherent process of attosecond pulse generation. He has reported in ChemPhysChem on attosecond nuclear dynamics.
