The promotion prize in the dissertation category, endowed with €5,000, was awarded to Dr. Cornelia Sennewald, TU Dresden. In her doctoral thesis, she developed new technology concepts for production of 3D structures in lightweight design based on a weaving process.
Dirk Fischer, TU Chemnitz, was honoured with a promotion prize worth €3,500 for the best master thesis. In his work, a classic component, namely a bicycle spoke, was replaced with a flexible wire to achieve benefits in weight and dynamics.
Philipp Kempert (TU Dresden), Karsten Neuwerk und Lukas Völkel (both from RWTH Aachen) received creativity awards including a scholarship of €250 a month for two semesters.
Kempert developed a shuttle changer for a shuttle loom. Neuwerk’s work deals with light transmitting filaments. Völkel’s bachelor thesis focuses on fabrication of woven-fabrics of multifilament yarns for use as electrode materials in super-capacitors. (GK)
