Would FIAS (https://fias.institute/en/ https://fias.institute/en/, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_Institute_for_Advanced_Studies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_Institute_for_Advanc...) even be considered a second rate institution?
- codethief 6y agoIgnoring the fact that this is another ad hominem attack, judging a researcher by her/his home institution won't get you anywhere. I know dozens of outstanding mathematicians and physicists who are very well known in their respective fields and reside at less-than-well-known institutions. (Often, because their family is from there and they took the chance to go back.) Generally speaking, in Central and Western Europe it doesn't matter which institution a researcher is from. They're all good and those at top-tier institutions are only marginally better at best.
