Angkana Rüland
Having been awarded what is arguably Germany’s most prestigious science prize, mathematician Prof. Dr. Angkana Rüland of the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) Cluster of Excellence has now joined We Are Uni Bonn.
Gaining a better understanding of microstructures. Exploring inverse problems
Prof. Dr. Angkana Rüland was awarded the Leibniz Prize for her outstanding work in mathematical analysis. In her research on microstructures, she is particularly interested in metal alloys with shape memory: for example, a severely bent paper clip made of such a material automatically returns to its original shape when heated.

Expand the research group
Recipients of the Leibniz Prize receive a cash award of 2.5 million euros. The recipients may use these funds over the next seven years as they see fit and without bureaucratic red tape, within the scope of their research work. Rüland plans to use the prize money to further expand her research group.
