Nominator's project description

Professor Fuster Verdu is known internationally for his outstanding research in high-energy particle physics. He has pioneered key measurements of the fundamental parameters of the electroweak force, responsible for nuclear fission, and the strong force holding the baryonic matter together. During his stay in Germany, Professor Fuster will develop new techniques to determine the mass of the top quark with the highest accuracy possible.
