Best Poster Award at EMV Symposium Goes to Master’s Graduate

18 April, 2024

Andrea Hofer impressed the jury with her thesis on EMC testing of automotive components.

Why does my notebook and my cell phone work without a hitch in a high-speed train that takes me across the country at megawatts – is that a given? No, it would not be possible without further ado.

This everyday scene is an example of our daily lives where the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electronic devices and systems has been harmonized. EMC is a highly relevant aspect in the development of electronic devices and systems. On the one hand, it involves measuring and analyzing how electronic devices influence each other, and on the other, the use of measures and solutions that ensure interference-free operation side by side.

Andrea Hofer, a graduate of the Master’s Degree Program in Power Electronics, dealt with EMC testing of automotive components as part of her final thesis. She impressed the audience with her poster presentation at the last EMC symposium at Seibersdorf Laboratories and was awarded the Best Poster Award.

We congratulate her warmly!
