News Overview
Stay informed with our latest news and announcements on this page. For more in-depth content, we also encourage visitors to explore our bimonthly STRUCTURES Newsletter magazine, which features a variety of articles, interviews with members, and background information on our latest research and activities.
We congratulate Giulio Beletti and Dieter Heermann! Giulio Belletti has been awarded with a Humboldt research stipent for postdocs. He is member of the STRUCTURES YRC and works with Beatrice Pozzetti at the Mathematical Institute on geometry and topology. Dieter Heermann, Institute for Theoretical Physics, is now member of the International Advisory Board of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China).
We are very happy to welcome our three new members Dylan Nelson, Tilman Plehn and Björn Malte Schäfer to STRUCTURES. Dylan Nelson is an Emmy Noether Research Group Leader of the Computational Galaxy Formation and Evolution Group at the Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, within the Center for Astrophysics (ITA/ZAH). Tilman Plehn is Professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, working on particle phenomenology and machine learning. Björn Malte Schäfer leads the Statistics and Cosmology Group at the ARI (Astronomisches Rechen-Institut), within the Center for Astrophysics (ZAH).

We are very happy to welcome our four new members Jan Johannes, Philipp Preiß, Johannes Schemmel and Fabian Schneider to STRUCTURES. They excellently represent the rich diversity of research areas of the STRUCTURES community. Jan Johannes, leading his group "Statistics of Inverse Problems", is Professor at the Institute for Applied Mathematics. Junior group leader Philipp Preiß from the Kirchhoff-Institute for Physics leads a new project funded by the ERC starting grant "UniRand - Random Unitarities in a Rapid Optical Lattice Simulator". Johannes Schemmel, working on neuromorphic computing, is head of the "Electronic Vision(s) Group" at the Kirhoff-Institute for Physics. Fabian Schneider is Junior group leader of the "Stellar Evolution Theory" group at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies.
We congratulate Felix Joos on receiving the Lautenschläger Junior Researcher Prize! Manfred Lautenschläger, the award sponsor and an Honorary Senator of Heidelberg University, describes him as an “enormously productive young researcher, who with creativity, self-determination and technical flexibility is tackling major questions in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics”.
Since March 2020, Felix Joos is Junior Professor at the Institute for Computer Science, leading the group Theoretical Computer Science and joined STRUCTURES in July 2021. He recently attracted attention with his solution to the “Oberwolfach problem” (2018) and a paper on the “kissing number” (2019).
The festive presentation is to take place on 7 May 2021 as a virtual event, open to the public, and will be livestreamed from the Great Hall of the Old University starting at 17:00. It is accessible via the portal heiONLINE of Heidelberg University.
