Anastasia Borschevsky awarded with VIDI grant

The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has awarded an EUR 800,000 Vidi grant each to 86 experienced researchers. Three of these conduct their research at just one faculty at the University of Groningen (UG): the Faculty of Science and Engineering. The grant will enable the researchers to set up their own novel research lines and even a research group. One of the FSE VIDI-laureats of this year is dr Anastasia Borschevsky.

Dr Anastasia Borschevsky, Van Swinderen Institute for Particle Physics and Gravity: High accuracy calculations for fundamental research with atoms and molecules

Atoms and molecules can act like tiny laboratories for sensitive experiments that probe the fundamental structure of matter and search for new laws of physics. Scientists will develop a novel method of unsurpassed accuracy and use high performance computing to calculate parameters needed to support and interpret these experiments.
