Congratulations to New ICFO PhD Graduate!
We congratulate Dr. Philipp Stammer who defended his thesis this morning in ICFO’s Auditorium.
Dr. Stammer obtained his MSc in Theoretical Physics from the Technical University Berlin, before joining the Quantum Optics Theory research group led by ICREA professor Dr. Maciej Lewenstein. His thesis titled "Photons and Information - A modern approach to strong-field quantum optics" was supervised by ICREA Prof. Dr. Maciej Lewenstein.
Congratulations Philipp!!! 👏

🎮 Ciència, videojocs i vocacions científiques 🔬
El passat dijous 21 de maig va tenir lloc la gala final de Científiks en Joc, amb la participació de la Pilar Pujol qui ha col·laborat amb l’Escola La Monjoia de Sant Bartomeu del Grau, fent una feina excel·lent plegades!
Aquest programa educatiu, impulsat pel Departament de Recerca i Universitats, apropa la ciència a l’alumnat de 5è de primària a través del disseny de videojocs. D’una manera creativa i participativa, els estudiants treballen en equip per crear un videojoc inspirat en la vida i la recerca d’una investigadora catalana en actiu.
En aquest procés, la científica esdevé una peça clau com a referent i mentora: comparteix la seva recerca, acompanya l’alumnat i vetlla pel rigor científic dels projectes, alhora que ajuda a trencar estereotips de gènere i fomentar vocacions científiques.
A la gala final, les escoles van presentar els seus videojocs i es van lliurar diversos reconeixements, i ens fa especial il·lusió compartir que l’Escola La Monjoia va rebre la menció al millor repte o trencaclosques 🙌
