Winners of the Student Travel Grants 2021 | Zurich Instruments

We thank all applicants who submitted entries for the 2021 call. It is rewarding for us to see the continued popularity of our Student Travel Grants.

As in previous years, the submitted papers and theses covered a wide range of applications and research topics. We adopted a two-step process where we verified the eligibility of the submissions and then used a 'random winner generator' to choose three grant recipients from the list of eligible applicants.

This year's winners are:

  • Letizia Catalini (Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark), Modeling and observation of nonlinear damping in dissipation-diluted nanomechanical resonators, Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 174101 (2021). Featured instrument: HF2LI Lock-in Amplifier.
  • Darpan Verma (The Ohio State University, USA), Local electric field measurement in GaN diodes by exciton Franz–Keldysh photocurrent spectroscopy, Appl. Phys. Lett. 116, 202102 (2020). Featured instrument: HF2LI Lock-in Amplifier.
  • Tian Tian (University of Science and Technology of China, China), Dynamic observation of topological soliton states in a programmable nanomechanical lattice, Nano Lett. 21, 1025 (2021). Featured instrument: HF2LI Lock-in Amplifier.

They will be able to spend their individual prizes of 1'500 CHF on conference fees, textbooks or online courses.

Read what the three winners told us about their experience working with Zurich Instruments' products, and don't forget – the call will open again in 2022!

I worked for the first time with an HF2LI three years ago when I started my PhD. It is an extremely versatile instrument, which I use to run my whole experiment. I also find the LabOne user interface really nice and handy.

I learned about Zurich Instruments after I started my PhD in the Myers Group at The Ohio State University in 2019. For my current experiment, I am using the HF2LI to record sensitive data with high accuracy. I like how I can measure and record data with the best signal-to-noise ratio in no time, and I appreciate how simple and informative the user manuals are.

I first learned about Zurich Instruments from a collaborator who was also a customer of Zurich Instruments. At present, I use the HF2LI to study the coupling strengths between nanomechanical oscillators based on their frequency response and to look at the dynamics by monitoring the amplitude variation of each oscillator. The LabOne interface can connect many amplifiers to measure different oscillators at the same time, and the command log makes programming easier.
