Collin Johnson from the Process Automation Systems chair at TU Dortmund receives the prestigious Hans-Uhde Prize for his Master's thesis on enhancing neural network models in engineering applications.
In late April, the Hans-Uhde Foundation awarded the Hans-Uhde Prize to four graduates from TU Dortmund for their exceptional achievements. Additionally, graduates from the University of Applied Sciences (FH) Dortmund and an employee from Uhde High Pressure Technologies GmbH were honored during the event.

The Hans-Uhde Prize was awarded to TU Dortmund-graduates from four different faculties, recognizing their exceptional academic achievements. From the Faculty of Biochemical and Chemical Engineering Collin Johnson from the Process Automation Systems chair (PAS) was awarded the Hans-Uhde Prize for his Master's thesis on “State Estimation for Neural Network System Models with Bayesian Last Layer”. In his thesis he focused on developing advanced computational methods for improving the accuracy and reliability of probalistic neural network models in engineering applications.
