Joint conference “Electronic properties of 2D semiconductors” (EP2DS) and “Modulated semiconductor structures” (MSS) in Würzburg.

Despite contact restrictions and hygiene regulations, the new teaching-concept “lab at home”, enables the students to do the hands-on parts of the practical course “Neuroimaging and elec-trophysiology” at home.-

De­spite the pan­dem­ic, scien­tific ex­change con­tinues! In 2020, four Top­Math Talks took place as an online for­mat and were at­tend­ed with great inter­est both by mem­bers of the Top­Math com­muni­ty as well as facul­ty mem­bers.

Prof. Jorma Louko wil be teaching an intensive course on quantum fields in curves space-times. He will cover the mathematical foundations of Hawking-radiation of black holes; these create particles in the vacuum even though their gravitational pull is so strong even light rays cannot escape.

At the ASC Winter School students have four days to learn and practice the basics of project management. The course is specially designed for engineers. People management content is also taught as soft skills.

The annual PhD student meeting of the International Doctorate Program “Topological Insulators” took place in Prague this year.

The Elite Graduate Program “Theoretical and Mathematical Physics” discusses black holes.

Stephen Hansen presented his recent work on chief executive officers (CEOs) in Munich.

At the second annual Science School, RESET master’s students shared the insights they gained from their internship experiences about the practical possibilities for responsibly employing science and technology in a variety of social, business, political, and research contexts.
