We are delighted to congratulate our member Dominika Wylezalek, research group leader at the Centre for Astronomy (ZAH) of Heidelberg University, on winning one of the three Klaus-Georg and Sigrid Hengstberger Awards for early-career scientists.
Since 2004, the Klaus-Georg and Sigrid Hengstberger Prize has been awarded annually to excellent early-career scientists at Ruperto Carola. The award comes with a prize money of €12,500 and enables the prizewinners to hold a scientific symposium at the International Academic Forum Heidelberg (IWH).
The symposium led by astrophysicist Dominika Wylezalek will focus on the formation and evolution of galaxies – complex phenomena shaped by intricate interactions between stars, gas, dust, black holes, and supernovae. The symposium, titled “Quo Vadis Galaxy Evolution: How Galaxies Form and Evolve,” is scheduled for June 2025.
