Dr. Sandra Luber, senior researcher in the group of Prof. Jürg Hutter, was just awarded with an SNSF-Professorship. The topic of her research is "In Silico Investigation and Design of Bio-inspired Catalysts for Water Splitting". Her SNSF-professorship at UZH will start at March 1^st 2017.

Dr. Michal Juricek, currently independent researcher and SNSF ambizione fellow at the University of Basel was awarded with an SNSF-professorship. Only last November Michal Juricek was awarded with an ERC starting grant for his study in the field of how to manipulate the spin coupling between unpaired electrons in materials assembled from molecules, in order to control the bulk magnetic and conducting properties.
