Till Moritz Karbach Prize
The Till Moritz Karbach Prize has been awarded annually since 2016 by the Department of Physics for a dissertation in the field of particle physics or scientific computing / high performance computing that has been assessed with distinction. Till Moritz Karbach studied, did his doctorate and conducted research as a physicist at TU Dortmund University from 2000 to 2012. He was then active in mountaineering at CERN until his death. The award ceremony takes place within the framework of the Physics Colloquium of the Faculty of Physics. The prize money is 1,500 euros. The prize was donated by the parents of Dr. Till Moritz Karbach (1979-2015) to promote young scientists.
