On Friday, the Tyrolean provincial government awarded Francesca Ferlaino the Tyrolean Order of the Eagle in Gold. This award is presented to individuals who share a close bond with Tyrol and who, through their dedication, have contributed to the province’s development in their own way.

Theoretical physicist Torsten Zache joined IQOQI Innsbruck as junior group leader at the beginning of the year. Zache is also an assistant professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Innsbruck. He received an ERC Starting Grant for his research on quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories.

Theoretical physicist Elena Poli, a former PhD student in the research group of Francesca Ferlaino, received the IQOQI Dissertation Prize 2025. The prize, worth EUR 1.000, has been awarded since 2013 as a recognition for outstanding scientific achievements in the field of quantum physics. We warmly congratulate Elena Poli on her success!

Francesca Ferlaino, experimental physicist and Austrian Scientist of the Year, was elected a full member at this year’s general assembly of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
