2020 Prize Winner Thibault Sohier
2020 Michelson Postdoctoral Prize
Thibault Sohier has been awarded the 2020 Michelson Postdoctoral Prize for his contributions to the theory of two dimensional materials, notably for his studies of electron-phonon interaction and electron transport. Dr. Sohier received his PhD in Physics in 2015 at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris and did postdoctoral work at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and at the University of Liège in Belgium.
