Hungarian physicist to win Nobel Prize

Ferenc Krausz, external member of the MTA, director of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, has a good chance of winning this year’s Nobel Prize in physics – says Thomson Reuters, a multinational mass media and information firm, which tries to predict the names of Nobel Prize winners every year.

According to Thomson Reuters’ 2015 analysis, four physicists from three fields are at the top of the list, including Ferenc Krausz, and Paul B. Corkum, both researchers of attosecond physics.

Thomson Routers tries to predict the names of the Nobel Prize winners every year; scientists are ranked according to the frequency their works have been cited, and according to the field they are currently researching. Based on TR’s predictions, researchers in attophysics have a great chance of winning this year. Such a researcher is Ferenc Krausz, external member of the MTA, director of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, and experimental physics at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich.
