Main Neuron Award 2024: Lifetime Contribution to Science

The prestigious Main Neuron Award 2024, granted by the Neuron Foundation for a lifetime contribution to science, is awarded to physical chemist Pavel Jungwirth.

Internationally renowned in his field, he has an impressive track record of groundbreaking scientific achievements. His projects share a unifying theme: ions and water.

“Pavel Jungwirth has transformed the way we think about the solvation of ions and electrons in water and at water interfaces. This understanding is crucial for deciphering key processes in heterogeneous atmospheric chemistry, chemical technology, and intracellular biological interactions,” states the nomination justification.
