Be inspired: on Wednesday, 15th May, by a pioneering physicist and mountaineerer. Any interested parties are invited on a "Random Walk Through Physics To The Nobel Prize" by Michael Kosterlitz, 2016 physics Nobel laureate,

• who is Harrison E. Farnsworth Professor of Physics at Brown University
• whose family fled from the NS regime, resettling in Scotland
• who gave the Italian crack climb "Fessura Kosterlitz" its name
• who developed his Nobel-honored research from a field that he, at first, found to be not more than an "entertaining" problem.

As the third "Nobel laureate at TU Dresden" 2019, Kosterlitz will share his research and life on Wednesday, 15th May at 7 p.m. in the Central lecture hall's Audimax.

The pioneering work of the 2016 Nobel Laureates in Physics, Michael Kosterlitz, David J. Thouless and F. Duncan M. Haldane kicked off the success story of topology applied to physical problems. This mathematical discipline plays an important role when it comes to characterizing new exotic materials, which made the Nobel committee award the physicists the Nobel Prize.

The School of Science warmly welcomes all interested parties. Please register at: tu-dresden.de/mn/nobel
