© 2014 EPFL
Summer season is the time when scientists are going to conferences and presenting their most exiting results. In July, LQM member Claudia Fatuzzo was awarded a prize for best young scientist presentation at the Super-Stripe conference held in Erice, Sicily.
Within a large international collaboration, Claudia has studied the interplay between charge-stripe order and the mysterious pseudogap phase in hole doped cuprates. Presenting these results, obtained through photoemission spectroscopy experiments, Claudia was awarded the 2014 Josep Askenazi prize for best young scientist talk. Claudia shared this prize with two other very talented young scientists - Maria Gastiasoro (Copenhagen University) and Alessandro Ricci (DESY).
