Sparkasse am Niederrhein Honours Innovative Dissertations and Master's Theses

For the past 28 years, Sparkasse am Niederrhein, the largest credit institution in the Kreis Wesel, has been recognising progressive and application-oriented dissertations and master's theses from the University of Duisburg's faculty. This annual event, held in collaboration with the Moers-based association for the promotion of engineering sciences, aims to foster academic quality and local industry relevance.

This year, the honours went to Dr. Max Frei and Jannik Korte. Dr. Frei's dissertation developed an AI-assisted method for automatically analyzing particle images, a valuable contribution to science and industry. On the other hand, Jannik Korte's research focused on improving the power management of UVC-LEDs used for disinfection, a development that could have significant implications for various industries.

The method developed by Dr. Frei previously required significant time and manual effort. However, his AI-assisted approach promises to streamline the process, making it more efficient and accessible.

Professor Alexander Malkwitz and Dr. Rüdiger Buß, among others, congratulated the recipients on their achievements. The honours are not limited to a specific field of study, reflecting Sparkasse am Niederrhein's commitment to supporting academic excellence across disciplines.

Sparkasse am Niederrhein sees itself as the scientific showcase of the University of Duisburg for the left Niederrhein region. The university's faculty, associated with the Moers-based association for the promotion of engineering sciences, is located in this region. The prices for Dr. Frei's dissertation and Jannik Korte's master's thesis are 2,500 Euros and 1,500 Euros respectively.

While the specific details of the dissertations and master's theses honoured by Sparkasse am Niederrhein are not always readily available, it is clear that these awards recognise innovative and practice-relevant research that has the potential to make a real-world impact. For more detailed and specific information about the awarded dissertations and theses, including the honoured topics or recipients, you would likely need to consult official announcements from Sparkasse am Niederrhein, the Moers-based engineering promotion association, or related academic institutions in the Niederrhein region.

The AI-assisted method developed by Dr. Frei for analyzing particle images could potentially revolutionize science and industry, making the process more efficient and accessible. Jannik Korte's research on improving UVC-LED power management could hold significant implications for multiple industries, especially those related to medical-conditions disinfection. This research was recognized and awarded by Sparkasse am Niederrhein, a supporter of academic excellence across various fields, including artificially intelligent technologies and engineering sciences.
