University physicist receives Humboldt award for lifetime 1xbet online games login achievements
Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2015
MANHATTAN — A Kansas State University physics professor has been chosen as one of the 100 researchers internationally to receive the prestigious Humboldt 1xbet online games login Award this year.
Uwe 1xbet online games login , professor of physics in the College of Arts & Sciences, is receiving the award for his lifetime 1xbet online games login achievements in atomic, molecular and optical physics.
"This award is a great opportunity to continue collaborations, to start new ones and to interact with leading scientists in Germany," 1xbet online games login said.
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation gives the 1xbet online games login award annually to scientists whose fundamental discoveries, new theories or insights have significantly influenced their own disciplines and who are expected to continue producing cutting-edge achievements. The award aims to increase international scientific cooperation. Award winners become lifelong members of the Alexander von Humboldt network and are invited to carry out long-term 1xbet online games login projects with colleagues in Germany.
1xbet online games login , a theoretical physicist who studies femtosecond and attosecond physics, will use the award to collaborate with researchers at the University of Frankfurt in Frankfurt; the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching; the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg; and the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science in Hamburg.
The Kansas State University physics department and the James R. Macdonald Laboratory have long-collaborated with German 1xbet online games login institutions, Thumm said. He cited the example of Lew Cocke, university distinguished professor emeritus of physics, who was instrumental in beginning such international collaborations.
"It has been a very fruitful exchange that has benefited our department and the Macdonald Laboratory tremendously," 1xbet online games login said. "I am looking forward to continuing these collaborations with our German colleagues."
Reinhard Dörner, a leading German atomic physicist at Goethe University in Frankfurt, nominated 1xbet online games login for the award. Dörner and 1xbet online games login have collaborated for many years.
Thumm's 1xbet online games login interests include modeling, theory and numerical computation of interactions between electrons, ions, and intense laser light with atoms, molecules, clusters and solid surfaces.
His 1xbet online games login group studies femtosecond and attosecond physics and develops theoretical methods and numerical simulations to describe the atomic motion inside molecules and the ultrafast dynamics of electrons in matter with atomic time resolution. An attosecond is one-billionth of a billionth of a second.
1xbet online games login has collaborated with numerous researchers worldwide and holds several patents. He has contributed 99 publications in peer-reviewed journals and books and 237 reports, press-releases and abstracts that stretch back more than two decades.
