Nominator's project description

Professor Seideman is honoured for her oustanding contributions in the design of laser fields for the manipulation of molecules in gases and at surfaces. The cooperations with Professor Manz and Wolf at the Insitute of Chemistry and Phyics of the Freie Universität Berlin, will combine her discoveries with the design of laser fields for preparations of pure enantiomers, for the quantum ignition of molecular rotors, and for the stimulation and control of surface reaction, respectively.
