Teena tom Dieck and Johanna Fröhlich have been awarded the Luise-Prell-Preis and the Fritz-und-Maria-Hofmann-Preis, respectively, for their outstanding master’s theses.
Teena tom Dieck was honored for her thesis “Optical-to-Chemical Signal Modulation with Functionalized Nanodevices,” in which she developed mathematical models for light-controlled nanodevices used in miniaturized bioreactors, laying the groundwork for their optimization and future application in molecular communication systems.
Johanna Fröhlich received the award for “Linear Computation Coding for Transformer-Based Large Language Models.” Her work investigates how to reduce computational effort in large language models, contributing to more energy-efficient and sustainable artificial intelligence.
