The director of the new quantum laboratory at the Donostia International Physics Center has been appointed 'annual scientist' in Austria
Francesca Ferlaino, named 'Scientist of the Year 2025' by the Austrian Association of Scientific and Educational Journalists, has praised her 'research work and passion for communication'.
Francesca Ferlaino.
Francesca Ferlaino, the scientist responsible for the new quantum laboratory at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), has been named 'Scientist of the Year 2025' by the Austrian Association of Scientific and Educational Journalists. Bere's "remarkable research work and the eagerness expressed to bring quantum science to the public."
According to the DIPC, Fercloud has made numerous achievements in recent decades, including the first condensation of Bose-Einstein, composed of atoms of hare, in 2012, "a poorly explored atomic species with extraordinary atomic properties." In 2018, it managed to produce the first dipolar quantum fusion of hare and dysprosium. In 2019, it managed to create a new state of matter called supersolid, and in 2021, it created a two-dimensional supersolid state.
For the past 20 years he has conducted his research at the Department of Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck and since 2014 he has been the scientific director of the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) in Innsbruck.
Ferlaino arrived in 2024 at the DIPC in San Sebastian todesign and direct the future Laboratory of Quantum Technologies for Ultra-cold Atoms, which will be located in the new DIPC building.
The scientist has described it as a "great honor" to receive this "prestigious recognition." He has stressed that he is "convinced" that science "is not a lonely endeavour, but a shared good" and that its "exchange of knowledge and communication increases its value." Ferlino has highlighted the recognition that this award gives to the "importance of scientific communication."
For his part, DIPC Director Ricardo Díez Muiño has stressed that "Francesca Ferlainois one of the leading scientists in quantum physics in Europe "and has been" proud "to have chosen to develop a new quantum technology laboratory at DIPC.
Francesca Ferlaino's research focuses onthe quantum phenomena of atomic gases atultra-cold temperatures . Ferlaino's laboratory will be part of the Quantum Mile of the Rivers and will combine her role as director of the DIPC laboratory with the responsibilities of the Institute of Experimental Physics of the University of Innsbruck and the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW).
