Awards

Aleksandr Zheltukin, visiting professor at Nordita (Stockholm), is one of the recipients of the State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology for 2009. The prize was awarded Dmitrij Volkov and his collaborators at the KIPT in Kharkov for "the discovery and development of principles of supersymmetry and supergravity and their application to the construction of a unified theory of fundamental interactions of elementary particles".


The essay "At the Frontier of Knowledge" by Sabine Hossenfelder, assistant professor at Nordita (Stockholm), is awarded a shared second prize in the The Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi) annual Essay Contest on the question "What is Ultimately Possible in Physics?".
