The Edith Alice Müller Award 2024 was attributed to both:
Béatrice Kulterer for her thesis ‘Characterizing Chemical Complexity during the Early Stages of Star Formations‘
This thesis dwelves into the complex chemistry in young prestellar cores, with a special emphasis on the deuteration of the methanol molecule, a key precursor molecule to complex organic molecules.
and
Guillaume Chaverot for his thesis ‘When planets get too hot: exploration of the runaway greenhouse with 1-D and 3-D climate models‘
This thesis presents a significant advancement in our understanding of planetary habitability and climate dynamics, with implications for both exoplanetary science and our own planet’s future.
