The Hans Eggenberger Prize is usually awarded annually to outstanding young scientists. The aim is to promote young scientists, preferably but not exclusively in the field of interdisciplinary application of electronics and / or electrical power engineering.
The Hans Eggenberger Prize sum of CHF 10,000 is awarded as a distinction for an outstanding Bachelor's, Master's or doctoral thesis. The Hans Eggenberger Foundation will cover project costs of up to CHF 100,000 for the implementation of a research project at a college or university in Switzerland or abroad following the award-winning thesis.
This year, Simon Escobar Steinvall, from the School of Engineering, was chosen for his PhD thesis entitled "Growth and characterization of earth-abundant semiconductor nanostructures for solar energy harvesting".
