Presentation of the Inpijn-Bakker-Grunwald doctoral prizes

As part of the presentation of the Osnabrück University Funding Awards, the University Society was able to honor three outstanding doctorates!

Dr. Carolin Körner was honored for her dissertation "Structural and functional analysis of endoplastic reticulum-resident sphingolide metabolic enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae". The doctoral thesis deals with the alteration of the metabolic pathway in the body's own production of lipids. A connection with the occurrence of serious neurodegenerative diseases was identified here.

Dr. Marko Andjic submitted his Doctorate in the field of law with the title "The Protection of Trade Secrets in Arbitration Proceedings". In his thesis, he compared state jurisdiction with arbitration and came to the conclusion that arbitration is more flexible when it comes to agreeing procedural confidentiality measures, for example.

Dr. Friedemann Liebaug received an award for his dissertation "Controlling Chaos with Graphs". His work deals with the question of how chaotic systems can be controlled and synchronized.


All three are aiming for a scientific career at universities.

Congratulations to all award winners!
