The ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies congratulates former Senior Fellow Gilles Brassard on being awarded the 2018 Wolf Prize for Physics.

Lavinia Heisenberg, Junior Fellow at the ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies, is awarded the Gustav Hertz Prize 2018 of the German Physical Society.

Gravitational waves in cosmology and foundations of quantum thermodynamics feature in the research of two fellows who joined the Institute in this semester.

Lavinia Heisenberg is a theoretical physicist. She is reluctant to accept that General Relativity can be used to describe the universe only on the assumption of exotic materials and energy sources. Her goal is thus to update Einstein’s theory. (Written by Samuel Schlaefli)

Claire Voisin, of the Collège de France, currently Senior Fellow at the ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies, receives the 2017 Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences. She shares the prize with János Kollár, of Princeton University.
