SAOT Innovation Day 2024
On July 18th, we had our SAOT Innovation Day 2024.
With both two career insights and two research insights, our Doctoral Candidates had the chance to see beyond their own disciplines:
Simone Gaffling, SAOT alumna, gave insights into the challenges of developing custom made optical inspection systems at Intego GmbH.
Falk Töppel, SAOT alumnus, spoke about his journey from optics to consulting at d-fine.
Michael Frosz from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light explained the fascinating science of hollow-core fibres,
and Kai Phillip Schmidt introduced us into the Quantum Science of Correlated Light and Matter.
Subsequently, we presented the SAOT Awards 2024:
Albert These is this year’s SAOT Innovation Award winner, with his project proposal “Development of Recyclable Perovskite Solar Cells on Bio-Based Substrates”.
The award includes a personal prize money of 2’000€ and a project funding of 20’000€.
Congratulations to our Doctoral Candidates Alexandra Popp, Huiying Hu, Sebastian-Paul Kopp, Wenchang Wu, Chathura Kankanamge and Dongqin Ni for receiving the SAOT Student Awards 2024 in recognition of their excellent research contributions in the last year.
