DESCRIPTION:Francesco Mauri\, University La Sapienza\, Roma (Italy) \; Lau
 ra Gagliardi\, The University of Chicago (USA) \; Marco Govoni\, Universit
 y of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Italy) \; Davide Donadio\,  University of 
 California\, Davis (USA) \; Kurt Kremer\, Max-Plank Mainz (Germany) \; Giu
 lia Galli\, Liew Family Professor of Molecular Engineering and Chemistry 
 at the University of Chicago and Director of the Midwest Center for Comput
 ational Materials at Argonne National Laboratory (USA)\nThe Berni J. Alder
  CECAM Prize recognizes exceptional contributions to the field of microsco
 pic simulation of matter. The prize is meant to honour an individual scien
 tist\; exceptionally it can be awarded to at most three scientists having 
 equally contributed to the specific topic for which the prize is granted. 
 The prize\, created in 1999\, is awarded every three years.\n\nCECAM is th
 rilled to announce that the 2025 Berni J. Alder CECAM prize has been aw
 arded to Prof. Giulia Galli\, University of Chicago. \n\nGiulia Galli\, L
 iew Family Professor of Molecular Engineering and Chemistry at the Univers
 ity of Chicago and Director of the Midwest Center for Computational Materi
 als at Argonne National Laboratory\, is awarded the 2025 Berni Alder-CECAM
  Prize for her transformative contributions to computational molecular sci
 ence. Over the past three decades\, Prof. Galli has been a leader in the d
 evelopment of novel methods for large-scale electronic structure and molec
 ular dynamics simulations. Her group made critical contributions to linear
 -scaling algorithms for Density Functional Theory and Green’s Function c
 oupled with Screened Coulomb Interaction (GW)\, enabling predictive modeli
 ng of complex systems such as water\, defects in solids\, and quantum info
 rmation materials. Giulia Galli has also advanced the integration of simul
 ations with experiments\, playing a critical role in establishing modeling
  as a key interpretative tool in materials science. She led the developmen
 t of impactful codes\, including a large-scale GW implementation with majo
 r implications for understanding surfaces and defects. Her research has pr
 ofoundly shaped both theoretical and applied aspects of condensed matter a
 nd chemical physics. With over 450 publications and around 50\,000 citatio
 ns\, her influence spans disciplines and generations. She has been an outs
 tanding advocate for computational science and served the international co
 mmunity in a variety of important roles. Her leadership has been widely re
 cognized\, and her work and commitment to the development of the field hav
 e inspired colleagues\, collaborators\, and students across the globe.\n\n
 The award ceremony will be held on November 12\, 2025 at 15:00\, in EPFL 
 (room SV1717) as an opening of a mini workshop.\nJoin us\, in person or o
 n-line\, for this happy occasion!\n\nMore details on this event can be fou
