In the fall, when the fruits of hard work become visible, we look proudly at the dedicated members of our institute who have successfully completed their doctorates this year and are now bringing their knowledge and skills directly into industry. We would especially like to congratulate Markus Spielbauer, who completed his doctorate in the team of our institute professor, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Oliver Bohlen, in the ISES research field of Electrical Energy Storage. His topic was “Mechanical Damages of Lithium-Ion Batteries: Impact on Safety, Signal Behavior and Failure”, in cooperation with the Technical University of Munich under the first supervision of Prof. Dr. Andreas Jossen. We are proud of your achievement and wish you continued success!
