Successful completion of the bachelor thesis (Hitachi Energy)

In his work, Patrick supported us in the development of a furnace for analysing the binder burnout of varistors manufactured by Hitachi Energy. Patrick developed the control unit and supported us in converting the furnace for Neutron Imaging. The furnace is now permeable to neutrons, has been fitted with temperature sensors, has a feed-through for a high-precision balance and can rotate a varistor in the neutron beam. The control system allows us to run freely programmable temperature curves up to 600°C, precisely measure the sample weight and tomograph the varistor. The final presentation of his bachelor's thesis took place last week. Both Patrick's supervisor from the FHNW, Prof Dr Jürg Keller, and Michael Hagemeister from Hitachi Energy were present at the presentation.

We would like to thank Patrick for his outstanding support and wish him the best of luck in his future career.
