In front of almost 80 guests CUI has honored Prof. Dr. Anna Krylov, Professor of Chemistry and Gabilan Distinguished Professor of Science and Engineering at the University of Southern California as Mildred Dresselhaus Prize Recipient 2017. The ceremony within CUI’s New Year’s Reception in the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science was transmitted via Skype to Los Angeles, since Anna Krylov was prevented from coming to Hamburg; however, research stays with CUI are already being prepared.
