Austrian newspaper highlights Francesca Ferlaino and atom*innen

Great news – we’re in the Austrian press! Our founder, Prof. Francesca Ferlaino, was interviewed for the national newspaper Der Standard. In the interview, she shares her remarkable journey, from growing up supporting SSC Napoli to not taking a single physics class until the age of 13. What sparked her passion? A school visit to a nuclear power plant. Today, she leads cutting-edge research on ultracold atoms and magnetic elements such as erbium and dysprosium. Francesca Ferlaino is a Professor at the Institute of Experimental Physics at Universität Innsbruck and Research Director at Institut für Quantenoptik und Quanteninformation (IQOQI) in Innsbruck. On top of all this work, she is also the driving force behind our platform atom*innen - we're grateful for her vision and commitment.
