Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT), ETH Zurich

Thank you ETH Foundation for organizing the Meet the Talent event and to everyone who is supporting the next generation of (engineering) talent. We’re especially proud of two D-MAVT students who contributed to the program: Klemens Iten, Excellence Scholar and Master's student in Robotics, moderated the plenary session in the Audimax with a stage presence described by ETH Rector Günther Dissertori as “Eurovision-worthy”. He also presented the animatronic robot Dyana, a former focus project. Clara Norenberg, Excellence Scholar and Master's student in Mechanical Engineering, presented the solar race car she co-developed as part of the student project aCentauri Solar Racing. #MeetTheTalent #EngineeringEducation #ExcellenceScholarship

Fluid Mechanics "Tour of the Alps": A seminar series at the heart of Europe Each semester, a prominent speaker does a week-long train trip in the heart of Europe, giving distinguished lectures about a topic in fluid mechanics at ENS Lyon, LEGI Grenoble, EPFL, and ETH Zürich. Join us on Friday, 11 April 2025 at 14.15, for Colm-cille Caulfield's public lecture on "Stratified Turbulence: Climate's Mysterious Mixer". Caulfield is Professor of environmental and industrial fluid dynamics at the University of Cambridge, UK. His research interests include turbulent mixing processes, particularly the heat transport in the world's oceans, as well as turbulence transition and stratified flows more generally. The event is followed by an apéro in the ML-Turbinenhalle. More information: https://lnkd.in/ee-cpvz5
