From 13:00 - 16:30, our research groups presented the focus of their research in their open labs and gave students the opportunity to answer open questions or find links to their own areas of interest. This enabled the FZ HPC and Philipp Gschwandtner to present the Cluster Coffer, our miniature supercomputer for public outreach and teaching parallel programming and HPC.
The Institute also offered the opportunity to obtain first-hand information about studying abroad - whether as part of Erasmus or non-European programs.
At 5 p.m., the official festivities finally began in the main lecture hall with welcoming words from the institute's director, Prof. Dr. Ruth Breu.
This was followed by an extremely interesting keynote speech by Dr. Katharina Krombholz, head of the Usable Security research group in the Empirical and Behavioral Security research area at the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, on the security challenges of the networked world.
Following the keynote speech, the winners of the best Bachelor's and Master's theses of the 2022/23 academic year presented their work:
- James R. Fox received the Best Bachelor Award for his thesis entitled "Avalanche Detection With Computer Vision"
- Johannes Niederhauser received the Best Master Award for his thesis entitled "Left-linear Completion with AC Axioms"
The inday students concluded with a get-together in the foyer of the lecture hall wing.
