Nernst-Haber-Bodenstein Prize goes to Prof. Hans Jakob Wörner
May, 2013
The Nernst-Haber-Bodenstein Prize was established in memory of Walther Nernst, Fritz Haber, and Max Bodenstein. It is awarded annually to a young scientist who has made outstanding scientific achievements in physical chemistry. This year, the prize was awarded to Professor Hans Jacob Wörner, ETH Zurich, Switzerland, for his outstanding work on the experimental observation of the time-dependent quantum dynamics of electron motion in molecules on the sub-femtosecond time scale.
Hans Jakob Wörner studied chemistry at EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland, and the ETH Zurich before completing his Ph.D. at the ETH Zurich. He did postdoctoral research at Laboratoire Aimé-Cotton du CNRS, Orsay, France, and at the Joint Laboratory for Attosecond Science, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, Canada. In 2010, he took up his current position of Assistant Professor for Physical Chemistry at the Laboratory for Physical Chemistry, ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
