RCSA Welcomes 2024 Fulbright-Cottrell Scholars
Roman Kogler and Eva von Domaros have received the German-American Fulbright Commission’s 2024 Fulbright-Cottrell Award for excellence in research and teaching.
Based on RCSA’s Cottrell Scholar Award, the Fulbright-Cottrell Award recognizes junior faculty in chemistry, physics, and astronomy for integrating outstanding research with innovative teaching. Recipients take part in RCSA’s Cottrell Scholar Conferences and participate in Cottrell Scholars Collaborative projects.
“Fulbright-Cottrell Scholars bring new approaches and an international point of view to a growing interdisciplinary and multigenerational community,” said Senior Program Director Silvia Ronco. “We look forward to welcoming them at our next Cottrell Scholar Conference.”
The award, established in 2016, is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Kogler is an experimental particle physicist at the Deutsches-Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, in Hamburg who teaches undergraduate and graduate physics. He received the award for his project “Quantum Effects in Single Top (QUEST): Unbiased Search for New Phenomena at the LHC.”
Von Domaros leads a research group and is a professor of computational materials science at the Otto Schott Institute of Materials Research at Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. She received the award for her project “The Theory of Water and its Anomalies in Peer Project Learning.”
