We are delighted to announce that our member Ralf Klessen, research group leader at the Centre for Astronomy (ZAH) of Heidelberg University, is selected as a fellow for the 2024–2025 academic year at Harvard Radcliffe Institute. As the Elizabeth S. and Richard M. Cashin Fellow, Ralf Klessen will collaborate with Harvard researchers to explore the Local Bubble – the Sun's environment as part of the larger Galactic ecosystem – and to learn more about our origins and place within the Milky Way. He will use advanced simulations and observations to better understand the complex processes of stellar birth. Klessen looks forward to the fellowship's interdisciplinary opportunities, enhancing the diverse nature of his astrophysical research and encompassing the arts and humanities as well.
