- DAAD Prize for Syrian Engineering Physics Master's student
Talat Khonsur is honoured for outstanding credits and volunteer work. The Institute of Physics congratulates him warmly!
You can find a press release here. - Invitation to an afternoon of interactive experiments:
The perfect wave - interactive experiments, physical presentations and mulled wine - Challenges in wind energy research
What innovations are needed to make wind one of the world's most important sources of low-cost electricity generation? An international team of scientists has identified the three biggest challenges for wind energy research. Prof Dr Joachim Peinke and Dr Stephan Barth from ForWind are part of the team of authors who have now published their findings in the scientific journal Science. Here you will find a link to the original publication in Science. - Prizes for best dissertations from the University of Oldenburg (22/10/2019)
This year's prize for the best dissertation at the University of Oldenburg was awarded today to the two former doctoral candidates from the Institute of Physics, Dr Stefanie Kerbstadt and Dr Jan Vogelsang. Congratulations!
Here you can also find a video about the two award winners. - On 29 March 2019, the "Didactics of Physics and Science Communication" working group led by Prof. Dr Michael Komorek invited all current female A-level students in the region to an information afternoon at the Institute of Physics to talk about their experiences of studying to become a physics teacher. A flyer for the event can be found here.
- The Georg Simon Ohm Prize of the German Physical Society for outstanding, recently completed work by a student of physical engineering or related degree programmes at universities of applied sciences goes to M. Sc. Robin Yoël Engel for his outstanding thesis "Planning, Simulation and Preparation of a Magnetic Resonant Imaging Experiment based on the Detection of Anisotropic gamma-Radiation from Hyperpolarised Isomers" in the Master's degree programme "Engineering Physics" at the University of Oldenburg. The work makes an important contribution to imaging with hyperpolarised radionuclides and combines the high spatial resolution of magnetic resonance imaging with sensitive detection for nuclear medicine.
Congratulations!!! - Svend-Age Biehs is awarded the Gustav Hertz Prize of the German Physical Society for his significant contributions to the understanding of near-field induced radiative heat transfer, in particular the near-field thermal microscope. His contribution to the development of a thermal transistor and the discovery of thermal bistability are of great importance. In addition, his investigations into the super-Planckian radiation of hyperbolic metamaterials are groundbreaking.
Congratulations!!!
