Japan - RUB Workshop

We are happy to announce the upcoming Japan - RUB Workshop between July 4th, 2018 and July 7th, 2018. Workshop of experts from the field of plasma from Japan and from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum are planned for an intesive exchange of knowledge. The plasma workshops will take place on July 4th, 2018 and July, 6th, 2018 including lab tours. Furthermore, a framework program from the RUB is allocated for the Japanese guests to learn more about science in Bochum and the Ruhr area in general.

IS Plama Prize for Prof. Uwe Czarnetzki

The 10th International Symposium Plasma (ISPlasma) took place between March 4th and March 8th at Meijo University, Nagoya, Japan. A newly invented prize was given "for outstanding achievements in the field of Plasma Science and its Applications as well as great contribution towards the continued success of ISPlasma/IC-PLANTS." This year, the prize was given for the first time to Prof. Uwe Czarnetzki.

A man for the very special prices

Uwe Czarnetzki has been awarded again in Japan.

Prof. Dr. Uwe Czarnetzki from the Chair of Plasma and Atomic Physics is the man for the very special prizes: In July 2017, he was the first German to receive the "von Engel and Franklin Prize". In March 2018, he even became the very first recipient of another prize: the organizing committee of the International Symposium Plasma (IS Plasma) awarded him the "IS Plasma Prize". The award honors Czarnetzki's extraordinary contributions to plasma physics and its applications.

This was a real surprise.
- Uwe Czarnetzki

The prize was donated on the occasion of the tenth edition of the symposium. It has always been held in Nagoya, Japan, with the venue alternating between the three universities there, Nagoya University, Meijo University and Chubu University. In March 2018, the meeting had been held at Meijo University. "The prize consists of an engraved glass monolith weighing several kilograms," explains Uwe Czarnetzki. He only learned about the award when he arrived at the meeting. "It was a real surprise," says the plasma physicist.

DPG in Erlangen 2018

On Monday, 4th March 2018, the 82nd Annual Conference of the DPG and DPG Spring Meeting started at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg in Erlangen. It took four days, where scientists from all over Germany met to discuss their newest results on atomic, molecular, plasma physics, and quatnum optics.

Three groups from Bochum also joined the traditional meeting with 1 poster presentation and 6 oral contributions from the experimental physics II group. The group of Prof. Czarnetzki presented 3 oral presentations and one poster presentation. Further, from the field of theoretical electrical engineering one oral and one poster presentation was contributed.

Beside the scientific program, social events like an EinsteinSlam or an award ceremony with interludes of musical accompanists.
