Benjamin Lienhard, a postdoctoral fellow with the Rabitz Group, was selected to attend the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting at Lake Constance, Germany this summer, a prestigious international forum that brings Nobel laureates together with the brightest young academics working today.
The focus of this year’s gathering is physics, which will play out across the informal discussions and small group panels that are Lindau’s hallmarks.
The annual gathering has been offered since 1951 to provide an opportunity for generations of scientists to co-mingle, from Nobel laureates and others at the top of their field to those still pursuing degrees. Some 650 students from 93 nations and more than 30 Nobel laureates will attend the week-long meeting from June 30 to July 5.
