Description
From January 2015 to December 2017 he was Scientist in Residence at the ZKM. On July 18, 2018 potential Nobel Prize candidate Fabrizio Tamburini will hold his Ångström Lecture entitled »Twisted Light and Radio Waves« at the ZKM for a second time.
The annual Ångström Lecture at Uppsala University is considered a great honour. Every fourth to fifth lecturer invited by the Royal Swedish Academy and the Nobel Institute of Physics will later receive the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry.
In May 2018 this honour was bestowed upon the Italian physicist Fabrizio Tamburini. In his research, Tamburini mainly deals with applications of basic physics and astrophysics, namely the detection of black holes or the physics of plasmas. He understands light as vortex, and vortex as twisted electromagnetic wave.
