Nobel Prize winners arrive in Vienna

Date:

The students of the Vienna University of Technology were surprised: suddenly the newly appointed Nobel Prize winner Ferenc Krausz rushed through the building. The physics professor made a surprise visit to ‘his’ photonics institute on Friday morning.

“It’s indescribable to be back where it all started,” Krausz explains. He arrived by plane from Munich on Friday morning and later traveled to Budapest, where he is leading a major scientific study to detect diseases such as cancer at their early stages.

Joy at TU Vienna
The Technical University of Vienna rolled out a red carpet for the Hungarian-born scientist. There was particular joy among Prof. Karl Unterrainer, whose institute Krausz once conducted the experiments that made his dual nationality – he also has an Austrian passport in addition to his Hungarian passport – become a Nobel Prize winner on Tuesday. Accompanied by television cameras and former colleagues, the Nobel Prize winner visited his former laboratory after a conversation in the rector’s office and reported on his ongoing research.

“Fastest photographer in the world”
Krausz has worked at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Physics in Munich since 2004 and also holds a chair in experimental physics at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. He carried out some of his most important work at the Technical University of Vienna, including making the movements of electrons visible by photographing them with laser flashes. This earned him the name ‘Fastest Photographer in the World’.

On Sunday you will read a major personal interview that Conny Bischofberger conducted with Krausz in the “Krone”.
