Johannes was selected for the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation 2025 cohort of Experimental Physics Investigators. He joins the previous three cohorts of distinguished mid-career researchers to advance fundamental research and push the boundaries of experimental physics.

The mission of the Moore Foundation is to create positive outcomes for future generations by tackling large, important issues at a scale where researchers can achieve significant and measurable impacts. The Experimental Physics Investigators Initiative was established to help the next generation of scientific leaders achieve remarkable physics insights and open new frontiers. The goal of the initiative is to provide substantial funding to pursue exciting research goals, try new ideas and investigate new areas of discovery.
