Blanc & Fischer Innovation Award

KIT

The KIT Freundeskreis und Fördergesellschaft e. V. (KFG) annually awards the Blanc & Fischer Innovation Award together with the KIT to honor the best dissertations in the field of engineering. The winners are selected with an emphasis on high innovative potential of the methods developed during the doctorate, successful transfer into practice, and excellent oral and written communication. The award is sponsored for three years by the company Blanc & Fischer. Thorsten Zirwes received the award together with two other prize winners for developing efficient computational methods to speed up the simulation of chemically reacting flows on supercomputers.

Award ceremony of the Blanc & Fischer Innovation Award. Bernd Eckl (CEO Blanc & Fischer Familienholding), Dr. Hanemann (Preisträgerin), Dr. Stamer (Preisträger), Prof. Bockhorn (PhD supervisor of Thorsten Zirwes), Dr. Merkert (CTO E.G.O.) and Prof. Dillmann (from left to right). Thorsten Zirwes (right) attended the award ceremony online.
