Laureates at KIT
Be it the prestigious prizes of the German Research Foundation (DFG) or science awards from ministries or foundations: KIT scientists repeatedly are among the winners. In the past years, several of the coveted State Research Prizes of the State of Baden-Württemberg or of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prizes of the DFG were awarded to KIT.
On the following pages, we would like to present some of the winners primarily of the past ten years.
Tenure-track professor Pascal Friederich, head of the AiMat group at the Institute of Theoretical Informatics (ITI), receives the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize of the German Research Foundation (DFG). The 20,000 Euro prize, considered one of the most prestigious German prizes for early-career researchers, is awarded to him for his outstanding work in computational materials design.
