Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Friedrich-Karl Thielemann is professor for theoretical physics at the University of Basel and one of the world-leading nuclear astrophysicists. His work focuses on theoretical and computational astrophysics in combination with the nuclear processes which enter the modelling of hot and dense astrophysical plasmas. He laid the groundwork for predicting nuclear reaction rates among stable and unstable nuclei in the big bang or stellar environments. He has made major contributions to the understanding of late stages of stellar evolution and stellar explosions, including thermonuclear and core collapse supernovae, novae, X-ray bursts, and neutron star mergers. Ejecta of such objects provide the source for the element production during the evolution of galaxies. For these achievements he was honored in 2008 with the Hans Bethe Prize of the American Physical Society. He will spend his stay as Humboldt awardee in the theory group at GSI Darmstadt for collaborations on the formation of heavy (and the heaviest) elements and isotopes in nature. |
