Please share: Congratulations to Clara Wanjura for receiving the German Physical Society's Gustav Hertz Prize 2026 !
She is awarded the prize for her pioneering contributions to two modern topics: #neuromorphic systems, that promise to reduce the energy consumption of artificial intelligence #AI , and non-Hermitian #topology , which describes a set of sometimes counterintuitive wave phenomena.
Clara is research group leader at our @MPI_ScienceOfLight in #Erlangen .
