Awards

The aim of the Award for Best Teaching is to promote quality teaching at tertiary level, and to strengthen Switzerland as a science and research location.

Congratulations to Nicola Spaldin on receiving an honorary degree from Queen's University Belfast - Doctor of Science for distinction in Science.

Further to our news of March 15th about Prof. Nicola Spaldin receiving the Gothenburg Lise Meitner Award, Chalmers University of Technology has published an interview with her.

We congratulate our postdoc Jonathan Schmidt on the Dorothea-Erxleben-Prize awarded to him for his dissertation "Machine Learning the Thermodynamic Stability of Crystal Structures".

The laureate of the 2023 Lise Meitner Award is Professor Nicola Spaldin, who is awarded for "Fundamental theoretical contributions and discoveries in the field of multiferroics".  

Dr. Bastien Francesco Grosso was awarded the IBM Research Forschungspreis for his outstanding PhD thesis.

At the Hamburg Planetarium, the materials researcher from ETH Zurich was honored for her outstanding work, which led to the development of a new class of materials - the so-called multiferroics. These could enable forward-looking applications in microelectronics, such as the construction of ultra-fast data storage devices or highly sensitive sensors.

Dr. Sayantika Bhowal, postdoctoral researcher at the ETH Materials Theory group (D-MATL), has been selected as one of the winners for the IXS2022 early career scientist awards.

Nicola Spaldin, Professor of Materials Theory at the Department of Materials at ETH Zurich is pioneering the development of a new class of materials known as multiferroics. These could facilitate ground-​breaking microelectronics applications, such as the building of ultra-​fast data repositories or supersensitive sensors.
