The Karl-Scheel-Preis 2024 of the Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin has been awarded to RTG postdoc Dr. Gustav Mogull, together with Dr. Tom S. Seifert from Freie Universität Berlin. The awards ceremony is on 20.6.24 at 17:15 at the Magnus-Haus, Am Kupfergraben 7, 10117 Berlin.

We are very proud to announce that our own Dr. Julien Barrat has won a Springer Thesis Award 2024 for his PhD thesis, Line defects in conformal field theory. Congratulations to Dr. Barrat!

On Dec. 12th 2023 the paper “Disspative scattering of spinning black holes at fourth post-Minkowskian order“ by the RTG researchers Gustav Uhre Jakobsen, Gustav Mogull, Jan Plefka and  Benjamin Sauer appeared in PRL. This is the seventh RTG publication that appeared in the prestiguous Physical Review Letters out of a total of 77 papers by doctoral and … Read more Yet another PRL publication

We offer a limited number of internship positions for master and advanced undergraduate students who identify as women. Details about the application procedure can be found here. The deadline for applications is December 1st 2023 for internships in the first six months of 2024.

Our spokesperson Jan Plefka is among the 2023 Top 100 list of the most influential researchers in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. The top 100 list is compiled by the German newspaper Berliner Tagesspiegel and recognizes personalities “who make the research region Berlin-Brandenurg shine this year“.  Newspaper article on www.tagesspiegel.de  (behind pay wall).

This week two of our doctoral researchers, Gabriel Bliard and Giulia Peveri, passed their PhD defence and successfully finished their time with us. Congratulations to Giulia and Gabriel and all the best for your future career paths!
