Two ERC Starting Grants awarded to University of Freiburg

Awarded for research into photochemical processes at a molecular level and into social interactions in the digital space. Freiburg, Nov 22, 2022 Two researchers from the University of Freiburg are each receiving a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC): physicist Dr. Lukas Bruder and psychologist Dr. Bastian Schiller will receive funding of around 1.5 million euros each over five years. The award is one of the most prestigious for research in the European Union. With it, the ERC supports young scientists who are starting an independent career some years after their PhD and want to build up their own work group. Lukas Bruder: MULTIPLEX project (Multidimensional interferometric photoelectron spectroscopy with extreme ultraviolet photons) . Physicist Dr. Lukas Bruder is receiving an ERC Starting Grant for research into photochemical processes at a molecular level. "Photochemical reactions dominate our lives, so it is extremely relevant to understand these processes in detail," says Bruder.
