Two students from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering were honoured at this year's THI graduation ceremony. Due to Corona, the event could not take place on site on a grand scale as planned. Provided with the graduate box for the perfect celebration at home, it was a successful tribute to the graduates despite everything.
With a small audience in attendance, the event also included awards for some outstanding Master's and Bachelor's graduates in the THI auditorium.

The first winner of the THI Sustainability Award, presented by the Audi Foundation for the Environment, is Roman Schiebel from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
The prize was awarded for his thesis on "Modelling and Simulation of a Plus-Energy Multi-Family House" at the Institute for New Energy Systems. Schiebel developed a calculation model that uses artificial intelligence to provide approaches for an optimal energy concept for new buildings. His work convinced the jury with its degree of scientific innovation, its high social relevance and the contribution it makes to the heat transition.
"The building sector accounts for about one third of the total energy consumption in Germany," says Roman Schiebel. "In order to achieve our climate goals, it is therefore extremely important to find solutions for more sustainability in this area. With my Bachelor's thesis, I would like to help take another step in this direction. I'm all the more pleased that it has also received recognition beyond higher education through this award."
The Audi Foundation for the Environment has already been active in promoting academic talent since 2011. With the THI Sustainability Award, they would like to promote the commitment to climate protection and ecological sustainability of young researchers in the Ingolstadt region, says Managing Director Rüdiger Recknagel.

Simon Nikolaus Müller graduated with an outstanding Bachelor's degree (1.1) in "Energy Systems and Renewable Energies" with his thesis on "Method development for the early identification of decarbonisation potential at component level in vehicle development". The prize was awarded to him by Ingolstadt's mayor Dorothea Deneke-Stoll.

CONGRATULATIONS!
