We were honored to welcome Dr. Olaf Wachsen for a guest lecture at the TUM Campus Straubing as part of the Master's course Applied Process Engineering.
In just 90 minutes, Dr. Wachsen shared insights from over 30 years of industry experience at Ekato, Hoechst, and Clariant – captivating our students with real-world lessons and deep expertise. His talk focused on the current and future challenges of process engineering, touching on key themes such as:
♻️ Sustainability
🔗 Resilience
🚀 Front End Loading
One highlight that will stay with us: the concept of “unknown unknowns” in technology transfer – vividly brought to life through practical examples. Through this session, our students gained valuable puzzle pieces needed to help shape the transformation of our economy.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Wachsen for the inspiration and for connecting engineering theory with industrial reality!
