Dear Colleagues,

As Editor-in-Chief of Entropy and on behalf of the Evaluation Committee, I am pleased to announce the winner of the 2019 Entropy Travel Award in the field of Statistical Mechanics.

Lorenzo Caprini is a PhD student at Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI), whose research is focused on the study of active matter systems. He is planning to present his work “Activity-Induced Delocalization and Freezing in Self-Propelled Systems” at the 27th International Conference on Statistical Physics (StatPhys 27, 8–12 July 2019, Buenos Aires, Argentina). The award consists of 800 Swiss Francs to be used to attend this conference.

With so many high-quality applicants, it was a very difficult decision, and we thank all the applicants. We wish to congratulate Mr. Lorenzo Caprini for his accomplishments.

Prof. Dr. Kevin H. Knuth
