Hans Jakob Wörner receives the Carus medal of the Leopoldina

Prof. Hans Jakob Wörner
Founded in 1652, the Leopoldina is one of the oldest academies of science in the world. It is dedicated to the advancement of science for the benefit of humankind and to the goal of shaping a better future. With some 1,500 members, the Leopoldina brings together outstanding scientists from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and many other countries.

The Carus Medal was first awarded in 1896, and honors significant achievements by younger scientists in an area covered by the Leopoldina.

From the press release: "Prof. Dr. Hans Jakob Wörner (1981) is one of the outstanding physicochemists of his age-group world-wide. Using spectroscopic methods he studies chemical reactions at the molecular level. Wörner was one of the first scientists to observe the time-dependent quantum dynamics of electron-movement in molecules at the sub-femtosecond time range in experimental studies. With these research he has opened new horizons on chemical reaction dynamics, which could lead to new developments in the ultrafast sciences.
