Dorian Brandmüller from the Institute of Physics at the University of Graz invited to join the prestigious Lindau Meeting 2024

From June 30 to July 5, 2024, more than 30 Nobel Laureates and over 650 selected young scientists will come together in Lindau to discuss the foundations and future of physics.

The Institute of Physics at the University of Graz is pleased to announce that Dorian Brandmüller has been chosen to participate in this year's Lindau Meeting after a highly selective, multi-stage reviewing process.

This meeting allows the invited young scientists and Nobel Laureates to discuss current topics in physics and to benefit from different perspectives.

Dorian Brandmüller is PhD candidate in the OpNaQ research group headed by Prof. Peter Banzer. His research is focused on nano-optical phenomena that can be used for new types of sensors. He will certainly be able to make a valuable contribution to this year's Lindau Meeting with the expertise he has gained during his scientific career.

How Fast Is Ultrafast?

In a recent episode of the podcast Bridge the Gap, Tommaso Mazzocchi and Daniel Werner, two graduate physics students, interviewed Peter Puschnig about ultrafast spectroscopy and his current research. The conversation spans fundamental quantum-mechanical concepts and leads up to state-of-the-art methods for observing electronic dynamics in real time. The episode is titled “How fast is ultrafast spectroscopy?” and is aimed at students and anyone interested in modern physics research.

Accelerated communication with the Kanzelhöhe: solar observatory moves closer to the university

From mid-December, the train journey from Graz to Villach will be reduced to just over an hour. This faster railway connection through the Koralm Tunnel will also bring the Kanzelhöhe Observatory for Solar and Environmental Research closer. Although this unique research station at 1500 metres above sea level is located on the Carinthian Gerlitzen, it has been part of the University of Graz for more than 75 years.
