Mustapha Laatiaoui receives ERC Consolidator Grant for superheavy element research

(Johannes Gutenberg Universitaet Mainz) Physicist Dr. Mustapha Laatiaoui will be receiving a Consolidator Grant of EUR 2 million from the European Research Council (ERC) to support his research in the field of atomic and nuclear physics. He will be using the EU funds to develop a novel approach for optical spectroscopy of the superheavy elements. This will make it possible to obtain information about these elements that has so far been completely inaccessible. The Consolidator Grant is one of th...
