Physical Sciences Hannes Lichte


Hannes Lichte was born in Braunschweig Germany in 1944. He studied physics and received his diploma at the Universities Kiel and Tübingen, Germany from 1966 to 1972. A Habilitation in 1987 was at the Faculty of Physics, University of Tübingen with the thesis Electron Holography at atomic dimensions.Hannes Lichte held the post of C3-Professor for Applied Physics in Tübingen.in 1989 and then C4-Professor for Applied Physics at Dresden Uni- versity, Germany in 1994 where he conceived and erected the Triebenberg Laboratory for Highest Resolution Electron Micros- copy and Holography. In 2010 he became Emeritus and was given an appointment as Senior Professor until March 2012. Dr. Lichte is best known for hiswork on experimental electron


wave optics; such as electron interferometry and holography as well as atomic resolution electron microscopy ~TEM!. Additionally he has worked on optimizing the performance of transmission elec- tron microscopy to the outermost limits, development an unrivaled disturbance-free laboratory for highest performance in electron mi- croscopy and holography ~“Triebenberg-Laboratory forHigh Reso- lution ElectronMicroscopy andHolography”!,development of new paths of rays for electron holography, and the development of the electron holographic method reaching atomic resolution. Hannes Lichte has been recognized with numerous awards,


including the Helmholtz Prize of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig ~the German NBS!, and the Ernst Ruska Prize awarded from the German Society of ElectronMicros- copy. He is an elected member of the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher LEOPOLDINA,Halle, and the International Francqui Chair, Antwerp, from Francqui Fondation, Bruxelles, Belgium.

Biological Sciences Ueli Aebi


Ueli Aebi holds master’s degrees in physics and molecular


biology and a Ph.D. in biophysics ~1977!. In 1979 he joined the faculty at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Balti- more with appointments in the Departments of Cell Biology and Anatomy, and in Dermatology. In 1986 he moved to the Biozen- trum,University of Basel, Switzerland, where he built a world-class structural biology division that integrates X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and light, electron and scanning probe micros- copies. UA’s lab has a long-standing interest in a structure-based understanding of molecular machines, and more generally, supra- molecular assemblies. The research focus is on ~1! cytoskeletal filament structure, assembly and turnover; ~2! the nuclear pore complex and nucleocytoplasmic transport; and ~3! fibrillogenesis of amyloid forming peptides and how this relates to disease progression. Also, his group is working on novel optical and mechanical nano-sensors/-actuators for diagnostics, prevention and therapy by minimally invasive local interventions.
