DESCRIPTION:Klaus Kern is Professor Emeritus at EPFL and Director and Sci
 entific Member at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stu
 ttgart\, Germany. He also is Honorary Professor at the University of Konst
 anz\, Germany. His present research interests are in nanoscale science\, q
 uantum technology and in microscopy at the atomic limits of space and time
 . He holds a chemistry degree and PhD from the University of Bonn and a ho
 norary doctors degree from the University of Aalborg. After his doctoral s
 tudies he was staff scientist at the Research Center Jülich and visiting 
 scientist at Bell Laboratories\, Murray Hill before joining the Faculty of
  EPFL in 1991 and the Max Planck Society in 1998. Professor Kern has autho
 red and coauthored more than 700 scientific publications that have been ci
 ted more than 70‘000 times. He has served frequently on advisory committ
 ees to universities\, professional societies and institutions and has rece
 ived numerous scientific awards and honors\, including the 2008 Gottfried 
 Wilhelm Leibniz Prize and the 2016 Van‘t Hoff Prize. Prof. Kern has educ
 ated a large number of leading scientists in nanoscale physics and chemist
 ry. During the past twenty-five years he has supervised one hundred PhD st
 udents and sixty postdoctoral fellows. Today\, more than sixty of his form
 er students and postdocs hold prominent faculty positions at Universities 
 around the globe.\nSymposium on the Occasion of the Retirement of Prof. Kl
