Natasha Tomm (Physics) received the prize for findings in her dissertation.

Her work could help give data transfers more protection against being hacked: during her dissertation at the University of Basel, Natasha Tomm (co-)developed a super-efficient source of individual photons.

The ceremony is held during the Swiss Physical Society annual meeting 2022.
