Dr. Ziri Younsi selected to attend the 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting

The meeting will take place from 30th June - 5th July in Lindau, Germany, and will be attended by 580 students, doctoral candidates and post-docs under the age of 35 from 88 countries. At least 41 Nobel Laureates will also be taking part in the meeting, which this year is dedicated to physics. More than 130 academic partners worldwide – academies, universities and foundations – nominated the candidates for participation after internal application procedures. 

Established in 1951, the aim of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings is to bring together world-leading pioneers in science with outstanding young scientists from around the world. The meetings alternately focus on physiology/medicine, physics, chemistry and economic sciences.

Dr. Ziri Younsi is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, whose work focuses on the calculation and identification of polarised electromagnetic signatures of the radiation from supermassive black holes using fundamental physics, supercomputing and astronomical data.

Commenting on his selection, Dr. Younsi said: "I am very happy to have been nominated by the Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences and selected by the Royal Society and the Lindau Scientific Committee to attend the 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. To participate in such an exciting and unique scientific programme, and collaborate in such a spirit of scientific innovation, attainment and collaboration is extremely exciting."

"Participating in the 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting is a tremendous honour and privilege for me. I am excited to talk directly with some of the most inspiring scientific figures of our age and to meet my outstanding peers. To share our passion and build lasting relationships is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"The 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting is a truly unique event and the intellectual, motivational and inspirational experience of talking directly with some of the most innovative scientific figures of our era. Being able to learn from their lectures, meet with them in person and hear about their experiences is extremely exciting."
