In early May, the Hans Uhde Foundation presented the Hans Uhde Award to four graduates of TU Dortmund University for their outstanding achievements. At the event, the foundation also honored graduates from Fachhochschule Dortmund (Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts) and an employee of thyssenkrupp Uhde GmbH for their achievements.

Dr. Tim-Philip Eisenhardt, Head of Human Resources at thyssenkrupp Uhde GmbH and site manager in Dortmund, along with Professor Manfred Bayer, President of TU Dortmund University, welcomed this year’s award recipients. Afterwards, Maximilian Spiekermann from the start-up “Simplyfined”, a spin-off from TU Dortmund University, explained how the young company aims to optimize plant oils into a bio-based platform chemical, thereby opening new pathways for the chemical industry to develop sustainable products.

The Hans Uhde Award honored graduates from the Departments of Computer Science, Biochemical and Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, as well as Mechanical Engineering. Nils Altenburg from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology received the award for his work on “Machine Learning-Enabled Imputation of Channel Measurements for 5G Connectivity Maps.” Jan Phillip Detke from the Department of Mechanical Engineering was recognized for his “Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Atomized Liquids for Cooling in Screw Compressors.” Felix Stegmaier from the Department of Computer Science was honored for his research on “Inter-procedural Static Analysis for Unsafe Rust using PhASAR,” and Reghuram Venugopal from the Department of Biochemical and Chemical Engineering earned the Hans Uhde Award for his work on “Uncertainty Quantification of Surrogate Models for Robust Model Predictive Control.”

In addition to the four TU Dortmund University graduates, four graduates from Fachhochschule Dortmund were also recognized for their achievements: Steffen Röttger, Sebastian Rosewick, Fabienne Stahl, and Nick Schuto. Dr. Rolf Siefert received the award for his outstanding contributions over more than 25 years at thyssenkrupp Uhde GmbH.
