Prof. Dr. Michael Kramer, Invited Balzan Lecture on 50 Years of Binary Pulsars, Paris, France: Binary pulsars were discovered 50 years ago, providing first evidence for a number of strong-field gravity effects, in particular the existence of gravitational waves. Today, nearly 300 binary pulsars are known, including the famous double pulsar, which is the most …

Prof. Dr. Stephan Schlemmer, Invited Lecture, 27th International Conference on High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy, Bologna, Italy: Action spectroscopy in cryogenic higher-order multipole ion traps as depicted in the insert of the Figure below was instrumental to overcome limitations of traditional ways of ion spectroscopy. Mass selection paired with low tempera-ture storage and near unity ion …

Prof. Dr. Stephan Schlemmer, Invited Lecture, “32nd Summer School and International Symposium on the Physics of Ionized Gases”, Belgrade, Serbia: Molecular ions play a vital role in space because they are readily formed by the ubiquitous cosmic ray ionisation and often undergo rapid chemical reactions even at the low temperatures of the interstellar medium. It …

Jun.-Prof. Dr. Zorah Lähner, Colloquium, Symposium on 3D Object Retrieval, Santiago, Chile: In this talk I will give an overview about the state of non-rigid correspondence methods in the era of deep learning, where current methods shine and what limitations still exist today. These range from the question whether a found solution is actually the …
