Lisa Đặng at the 73rd meeting of Nobel laureates in Lindau

Lisa Đặng, a Banting postdoctoral fellow who has been with IREx for several years, recently attended the 73rd Nobel Laureates’ Meeting in Lindau, Germany. This prestigious event, held from June 30 to July 5, 2024, brought together 650 promising young scientists from all over the world in the presence of 37 Nobel laureates, on the theme of physics.

Along with five other Canadian Banting and Vanier Fellows, Lisa Đặng had the opportunity to share her research on exoplanets and their atmospheres, a field in which she has made significant contributions in recent years. Her participation in this meeting was a great opportunity to discuss with leading scientists, exchange innovative ideas and strengthen her international connections. She testifies on her LinkedIn account:

“Attending the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings in Physics in Germany earlier this month was a highlight of my career as a physicist. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet enthusiastic young scientists across the globe and to listen to Nobel Laureates discuss their research and careers was truly inspiring and brings me lots of excitement for my own future scientific endeavours back at Université de Montréal.”

This experience is a tribute to the talent of Lisa Đặng, a very promising researcher. We are proud of her achievements and the international recognition she is receiving. Congratulations to Lisa for this accomplishment and for brilliantly representing our institute internationally.
