Each year, the Academy awards the Wallmark Reward to researchers whose discoveries or inventions have considerably advanced science and industry. The prize is called after the Swedish physicist Lars Johan Wallmark and has actually been awarded because 1859 for achievements in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, used mechanics, physics, chemistry, mineralogy, or engineering.
From Uppsala to Dortmund
Prof. Christian Glaser has been a Teacher of Speculative Astroparticle Physics at the Department of Physics considering that August 2025. Prior to this, he invested numerous years at Uppsala University in Sweden, initially as a junior professor on a tenure track (2020– 2023) and subsequently as an associate teacher (2023– 2025). With his appointment at TU Dortmund University, he returned to Germany, where he had formerly studied and earned his doctorate. After finishing his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics at RWTH Aachen University, he earned his doctorate in astroparticle physics there in 2017. As a postdoc and DFG fellow, he carried out research study at the University of California, Irvine, in the United States.
Glaser began the work that made him the Wallmark Prize in Uppsala and is now continuing it at the Department of Physics at TU Dortmund University, the RAPP Center and at the Lamarr Institute for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. His research study is moneyed by the European Research Council, to name a few. For his NuRadioOpt task, in which he intends to enhance the performance of future neutrino detectors using artificial intelligence, he protected an ERC Beginning Grant in 2024 worth roughly 1.7 million euros over 5 years.
Research study on Neutrinos and Cosmic Rays
Glaser conducts research on high-energy cosmic neutrinos and cosmic rays. These are particles produced during extreme procedures in deep space that supply new insights into far-off astrophysical events. A crucial focus of his work is radio innovation for measuring these particles in ice. His group likewise relies on expert system to filter signals from large quantities of information in genuine time, identify rare astrophysical events, and even more improve the detectors. His research study group is involved in major worldwide tasks such as the IceCube neutrino observatory at the South Pole, the RNO-G radio neutrino observatory in Greenland, the ARIANNA experiment in Antarctica, and the Pierre Auger cosmic ray observatory in Argentina.
