A team of 6 professors led by the Dutch Prof. Gerhard T. Hoft, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, chose the winners from among 66 outstanding scientists who previously received a scholarship from the Marie Curie Foundation.
Dr. Gadi Rotenberg, a graduate of the Kazali Institute of Applied Chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, currently serves as a senior lecturer at the University of Amsterdam. Dr. Rotenberg focuses on research based on a combination of computer software and laboratory findings to discover new catalysis and develop new materials, using environmentally friendly methods. He found new solutions to the problem of the abundance of data in the field, and founded in Denmark, together with a friend, "Sorbisense", a company that manufactures and sells measurement and data collection devices for groundwater testing, a patent invented by them.
The ceremony took place this week at the Polytechnic of Warsaw, Poland, in the hall where Marie Curie studied, and was attended by many scientists, professors and personalities, including the Minister of Science and Culture of Poland, members of the award committee headed by Prof. T. Hoft, and the Director General of the European Union's Science Committee, Achilles Mitsos, who presented the prizes.
