Series of Talks »Blick über den Tellerrand«

Our series of lectures is held in German.

Once every month, the Fraunhofer ITWM opens its doors and invites everyone who is interested to broaden their horizon. The interdisciplinary lecture series »Blick über den Tellerrand« of the Felix Klein Center for Mathematics presents different perspectives on a wide spectrum of topics in the area of science and technology.

Exciting experts from a wide range of fields will speak and discuss with the guests. Everyone is cordially invited and admission is free. The event will take place on site at the Fraunhofer Center and will also be broadcast virtually.

»Blick über den Tellerrand« (Thinking Outside the Box) in February 2025

»Black holes and the cosmic spider web of galaxies«

 

Tuesday, February 18th 2025
5pm – 6:30pm

The lecture will be held in German.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the largest, most powerful and most complex space telescope ever built and launched into space. With its groundbreaking observations, it is changing our understanding of the universe. How and when did the first galaxies in the universe form? What influence do black holes have on the fate of galaxies? The new findings will be discussed in this lecture.

 

About the Speaker

Dr. Dominika Wylezalek studied physics at the Universities of Heidelberg and Cambridge (UK). She received her doctorate from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2014. She then conducted postdoctoral research at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore (USA) and as a Research Fellow at the European Southern Observatory in Garching near Munich. Since 2020, Dr. Wylezalek has headed the Emmy Noether Junior Research Group “Galaxy Evolution and AGN” (GALENA) at Heidelberg University. For her contributions to observational astrophysics, the scientist was awarded the MERAC Prize of the European Astronomical Society and the Ludwig Biermann Prize of the Astronomical Society in 2023, and the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize of the German Research Foundation in 2024. 

The event will be moderated by Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Küfer. He is the speaker for the Felix Klein Center for Mathematics and head of the »Optimization« division and »Optimization in the Life Sciences« department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM.
