THI graduate receives Bavarian Culture Prize

Christian Fischer wrote his master's thesis in collaboration with Wacker Neuson, where he is now employed as an engineer. As part of his research, he analyzed the software release and testing for the battery management system of an exchangeable battery system in terms of efficiency and test duration.

The aim was to develop an automated test procedure for the standardized release of new software versions for series components. To this end, Christian Fischer first took a closer look at the general principles behind software testing and the associated specific test procedures. As the software in question was for a battery management system, this resulted in further influencing factors that had a significant impact on the test strategy. The exact characteristics, communication model, and error behavior of the battery management system were also considered. From this, the requirements and framework conditions for the new test strategy were finally defined.

A total of 33 graduates and doctoral students from Bavarian colleges, universities, and art academies received the coveted prize, which is awarded annually by Bayernwerk in partnership with the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts. At the award ceremony in Munich's Eisbach Studios, Bavarian Minister of Arts and Science Markus Blume emphasized: "The award winners represent the importance of Bavaria as a science location. Our university landscape is broadly based, stands up to international comparison, and is once again producing new stars in the research sky this year. We are very proud of this."
