Stefan Dickopf recieves Otto Hahn Medal

Dr. Stefan Dickopf receives an Otto Hahn Medal from the Max Planck Society ‘for his work on the high-precision measurement of magnetic moments of atomic nuclei and their shielding in atoms’. The MPG honours his outstanding scientific contributions in the course of his dissertation High-precision Penning-trap Measurements of the Magnetic Moments and Hyperfine Splitting in Hydrogen-like Beryllium-9, which he carried out from 2020 to 2024 at the MPI for Nuclear Physics in the division of Klaus Blaum. For this work he has already been awarded the dissertation prize of the SPARC collaboration.

Stefan Dickopf studied physics at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg and worked in Klaus Blaum's department at the MPIK for both his Bachelor's and Master's thesis. For the latter, he was awarded the Otto Haxel Prize of the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy at Heidelberg University. He has also studied abroad at the Universities of Bergen and York as part of the Erasmus programme. Since early 2025, he is a research associate at Zeiss SMT.

Every year since 1978, the Max Planck Society has awarded the Otto Hahn Medal to young researchers for outstanding scientific achievements, mostly in connection with their doctorate. The award is presented during the General Meeting of the Max Planck Society in the following year.
