Friday September 11, Prof. Hans Mooij has received a prestigious career award: the Langerhuizen Oeuvreprijs. Hans has been a true pioneer in superconducting devices, nanotechnology and quantum computing. His highly successful scientific work and his strong leadership over several decades have led to the Kavli Institute and QuTech as we have it today. His influence is of course much broader than Delft, and the fact that he was co-nominated by 6 Spinoza Prize winners is telling in that respect.
