Farewell and awards for graduates of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology

In a hybrid ceremony, the TH Ingolstadt said goodbye to its graduates and honoured special achievements. 1186 graduates were unfortunately only able to follow the ceremony online due to corona, but were nevertheless able to toast together with the president and throw their academic hats.

We congratulate all graduates and especially those from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology!

Lukas Benjamin Pichl was convincing in the Master's programme "Automated Driving and Vehicle Safety" (1.03) with his final thesis on "Model Based Measures and Transformer Networks for Evaluating the Similarity of Trajectories". Ingolstadt's mayor Dorothea Deneke-Stoll presented him with the prize for the best Master's degree.

Amit Tulsidas Chaulwar completed his doctorate at the TU Munich with Prof. Dr. Michael Botsch as his doctoral supervisor on the topic of "Hybrid Machine Learning Methods for Vehicle Safety Applications". He was awarded for the best doctorate.

THI President Prof. Dr. Walter Schober awarded the "DAAD Prize" of the German Academic Exchange Service for special achievements by foreign students. He received it from Navneet Singh Dhir (on the right in the picture) from the "Master International Automotive Engineering" degree programme, who has been a member of the Events and Excursions Department since the winter semester 2019/20 and Head of Events of the THI association N.I.C.E. since the summer semester 2021 and is therefore responsible for organising excursions for incoming students. He is also a volunteer for the YouTube series "A day in life of a student in Germany".

Karthikeyan Chandra Sekaran, a graduate of the Master's programme "International Automotive Engineering", was honoured for his academic achievements with the Bavarian Culture Award. In his Master's thesis, he undertook driving tests with autonomous vehicles at the THI test site. The motion planning algorithms he developed can autonomously and cooperatively steer vehicles through typical traffic situations. "It is an impressive achievement to graduate with such a superior research contribution. I am pleased that Mr Chandra Sekaran will continue to work for THI (as a research associate at the AN Institute AININ)," says THI President Prof. Dr Walter Schober.
