Professor Regine von Klitzing has been awarded the Gentner-Kastler Prize for outstanding scientific contributions to physics.

The prize, endowed with 3,000 euros, is awarded jointly by the German Physical Society (DPG) and the Société Française de Physique (SFP). Von Klitzing was honored for her pioneering contributions to the physics of complex liquids under weak confinement, for her contributions to intensifying Franco-German cooperation within the soft matter community and for her exemplary mentoring of young researchers. Von Klitzing has been teaching and researching at TU Darmstadt since 2017 and heads the Soft Matter at Interfaces working group at the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics in the Department of Physics.

The DPG, whose tradition dates back to 1845, is the oldest national and, with around 55,000 members, also the largest physical society in the world. physical society in the world.
