We are delighted that five researchers, affiliated with SFB 1313, have been recognized by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Having all five applications selected for funding is an exceptional success and highlights the international excellence of the Collaborative Research Centre and its research environment. The expertise of the five awardees will make a valuable contribution to the ongoing research and foster new scientific exchange within SFB 1313.
The awardees are:
- Zixin Chen (Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdocs, University of Stuttgart, Germany)
- Bo Guo (Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers, University of Arizona, USA)
- Kundan Kumar (Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers, University of Bergen, Norway)
- Taras Mel'nyk (MSCA4Ukraine-Fellowship, University of Stuttgart, Germany)
- Ivan Yotov (Humboldt Research Award, University of Pittsburgh, USA)
To honour this achievement, we will host a special "SFB 1313-Alexander von Humboldt-Colloquium", celebrating the awardees and their research. It will take place on 9 July 2026 at 2:30 pm. All SFB 1313 members and friends are cordially invited to participate.
Date: 9 July 2026
Time: 14:30 pm
Location: Multi Media Lab (U1.003), Pfaffenwaldring 61
