Nils Altenburg was awarded the Hans Uhde Prize for his master's thesis at the Chair of Communication Networks. His thesis deals with the use of machine learning in mobile network planning.

At the beginning of May, the Hans Uhde Foundation awarded four graduates of TU Dortmund University the Hans Uhde Prize for their outstanding achievements. Graduates of Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts and an employee of thyssenkrupp Uhde GmbH were also honored at the event.
Dr. Tim-Philip Eisenhardt, Head of Human Resources at thyssenkrupp Uhde and Site Manager in Dortmund, and Prof. Manfred Bayer, Rector of TU Dortmund University, welcomed this year's award winners. Maximilian Spiekermann from the start-up “Simplyfined,” a spin-off of TU Dortmund University, then reported on how the young company intends to optimize vegetable oils into a bio-based platform chemical, thus opening up new avenues for sustainable products in the chemical industry.


The Hans Uhde Prize was awarded to graduates from the faculties of computer science, biological and chemical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology, and mechanical engineering. Nils Altenburg from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology was awarded the prize for his work on “Machine Learning-Enabled Imputation of Channel Measurements for 5G Connectivity Maps.” Jan Phillip Detke from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering received the award for his “Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Atomized Liquids for Cooling in Screw Compressors.” Felix Stegmaier from the Faculty of Computer Science was honored for his research on “Inter-procedural Static Analysis for Unsafe Rust using PhASAR,” and Reghuram Venugopal from the Faculty of Biological and Chemical Engineering won the Hans Uhde Prize for his work on “Uncertainty Quantification of Surrogate Models for Robust Model Predictive Control.”

In addition to the four graduates from TU Dortmund University, four graduates from Dortmund University of Applied Sciences were also honored: Steffen Röttger, Sebastian Rosewick, Fabienne Stahl, and Nick Schuto.
