NEW: The Master Student Award was awarded to three prizewinners per call for the first time: to Johanna Aulich, Anna Rothenhäusler and Mohamed Mahmoud. The three prizewinners impressed the jury in every respect. Their Master’s theses “Advanced IV Characterization Methods for Triple-junction Solar Cells under Different Spectral Conditions”, “Control of Battery Systems in Industrial Companies with Reinforcement Learning” and “Perovskite-silicon Tandem Solar Cells” all laid very good foundations for further work. Congratulations to the award winners.
