by


Andrea Litvinov, postdoc in the Er-Dy lab,  has won the “Disruptive Innovation – Early Career Seed Money” from the joint funding program of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). This funding program facilitates the implementation of unconventional, innovative, and potentially high-risk ideas with an uncertain outcome.

Andrea’s project involves studying the connection between supersolid glitches in dipolar quantum gases and spin-ups in the rotation velocity in pulsars —  highly magnetized and extremely rapidly rotating neutron stars. Read more about his project below. Congratulations Andrea!
