VDE Rhein-Ruhr awarded six graduate prizes again in 2025. The prizes recognized outstanding academic achievements in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, and information technology at universities and universities of applied sciences. Our colleague Olga Krylova received one of these prizes for her master’s degree. She completed her degree at our department as part of the faculty’s TopING program. Her master’s thesis was therefore based on her conference paper “A High Linearity SiGe D-Band Diode Ring Mixer,” which was accepted at the 2023 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS). Further information about the award and the event can be found on the VDE Rhein-Ruhr website here. There you can also read that Olga, like a true scientist, plans to spend the prize money on “new circuit boards, lenses, and much more.” We at the department congratulate her wholeheartedly on this success!
