Dr. Daniela Rupp received the "Mayor's Young Talent Award" at the "Science Award of the Governing Mayor of Berlin 2018"

In his laudatio, professor-emeritus Ingolf Hertel (the former director of Division A of the MBI) explained how, in her research, Daniela uses both large scale free electron lasers, and lab-based systems such as the high harmonic sources at MBI, to gain unprecedented insight into both the shapes and laser-induced dynamics of rare gas clusters and nano-droplets. A recent example of this work can be found here (MBI Highlight Nature Communications "First imaging of free nanoparticles in laboratory experiment using a high-intensity laser source"). Prior to the current award, Daniela was awarded the 2018 Karl-Scheel Prize and the 2013 Carl Ramsauer Prize, both awarded by the Berlin section of the German Physical Society.
