See the link below. From the article:

”UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Jacob Bourjaily, associate professor of physics at Penn State, was honored with the Lars Kann-Rasmussen Prize for 2025 by the Niels Bohr International Academy (NBIA), in Copenhagen, Denmark. The prize is awarded annually to an exceptionally talented young individual who has had high impact in research and has or has had close connections to the Niels Bohr Institute. Bourjaily was presented the prize by Lars Kann-Rasmussen, former chairman of the board of VKR Holding and the Villum Foundation, at a Feb. 24 award ceremony attended by the head of the Niels Bohr Institute Joachim Mathiesen, Deputy Dean of Research Lise Arleth and NBIA Director Poul Henrik Damgaard.

“I am extremely grateful for the generosity and support I was given during the nearly 10 years I spent at the Niels Bohr Institute and International Academy,” Bourjaily said. “Through the generosity and support of the Danish people and the Niels Bohr Institute, I was able to build and lead the world’s largest team of postdoctoral scholars studying exciting new developments in quantum field theory. It is a great honor to be awarded this prize for the work that was started there.”

Bourjaily was awarded the prize "for his fundamental and original contributions to quantum field theory, guided by an on-going quest for both simplifications and deeper understanding."”



Not bad coming from a school that isn’t good at anything.

Hopefully the freaky-deaky Danes have many multiples of billions more to invest in research by Americans, since much of the current and future research is getting chopped and our graduate programs are in danger of being gutted. Our best and brightest will have to go international to get educated and pursue necessary research opportunities.
