Alumni Celebration 2018
On 12 October 2018, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology honoured last year’s top graduates at the alumni ceremony.
From 5.00 pm, the departmental student representation, represented by Ms Blum and Mr Holzmann, welcomed the award winners, their families, the Professors, and the department’s sponsors and supporters.
This was followed by a welcome address by the Dean, Prof. Dr Rainer Seck, and a welcome speech by the Vice-President for Teaching, Prof. Dr Klaus Kreulich.
This year’s keynote lecture, entitled ‘Curiosity as a driving force: from (natural) wonders to ultrasensitive microscopy’, was delivered by Mr Matthias Mader of the Department of Physics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics.
The highlight of the event was, of course, the subsequent ceremony honouring the outstanding graduates:
