And the ATLAS Thesis Award 2011 goes to Christian Ohm!

Only five of the about 100 PhD students who graduated in 2011 received the ATLAS Thesis Award 2011, and we are very proud to know that Christian Ohm, PhD student at the Oskar Klein Centre is one of them. The other winners are Michael Hance, David Lopez Mateos, David Miller and Verena Martinez Outschoorn. "It is very exciting!" tells me a radiant Christian when he joins me in my office "if you think that the other four are all Americans, and I am the only European! And they come from places like Harvard, Caltech and Berkeley!" The five winners were selected by the CB Chair Advisory Committee, which acted as the Thesis Awards Committee, from a selection of 21 nominations received.
