In the tradition of Noble Prize laureates, such as Ferdinand Braun (1909), smart minds at KIT are regularly granted prominent awards.
Current examples: The professor of informatics Dorothea Wagner and her colleague Peter Sanders were granted the Google Focused Research Award. In 2011, Sanders received the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, the German science award in the highest amount of up to EUR 2.5 million. In 2007, this prize was granted to Professor Peter Gumbsch from the Institute for Applied Materials – Reliability of Components and Systems (IAM-IZBS).
In 2008, Professor Jürg Leuthold from the Institute of Photonics and Quantum Electronics (IPQ) won the State Research Award. With this award, the state of Baden-Württemberg honors outstanding scientific achievements in all disciplines and makes them known to a broader public. It is the research award in the highest amount granted by a federal state. Every laureate receives EUR 100,000.
