On 29. May 2014, the German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry has honored Prof. Dr. Emad Flear Aziz with the Nernst-Haber-Bodenstein-Award. Aziz is leading research teams at HZB and „Freie Universität Berlin“, where he has built up the Joint Ultrafast Dynamics Lab in Solutions and at Interfaces.
For his very successful research he has already received numerous awards, e.g. an European Starting Grant in 2011. Aziz develops new methods to investigate structures and dynamics of materials in solution and interfaces.
The German Bunsen Society awards the Nernst-Haber-Bodenstein Prize in remembrance of Max Bodenstein, Fritz Haber and Walther Nernst. The award shall distinguish younger scientists (of up to 40 years) for outstanding scientific achievements in the area of physical chemistry. The prize was handed out during the General Assembly of the German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry, which is held from 29 - 31 May 2014 at the Universität Hamburg , Germany, the prize money is 5000 Euro.

- Saskia Vormfelde will be the new Administrative Director at HZBThe successful science manager moves from Freiburg to Berlin on 1 September 2025.
- Perovskite solar cells: New Young Investigator Group funded by BMBF at HZBIn the COMET-PV project, Dr Artem Musiienko aims to significantly accelerate the development of perovskite solar cells. He is using robotics and AI to analyse the many variations in the material composition of tin-based perovskites. The physicist will set up a Young Investigator Group at HZB. He will also have an affiliation with Humboldt University in Berlin, where he will gain teaching experience in preparation for a future professorship.
- HZB-postdoc Feng Liang becomes associate Professor at Xi'an Jiaotong UniversityDr. Feng Liang has joined the HZB Institute Solar Fuels in 2021. Now, he has secured an associate professorship at the Green Hydrogen Innovation Center in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University, China. He will start to build up his research team in June 2025.
