Since 1990 the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research annually awards the 50 best graduates of diploma and master studies at Austrian universities and Fachhochschulen. This year Clemens Hofstadler, who is currently a PhD student at our institute, received this award for his master studies in Computer Mathematics along with his master's thesis "Certifying operator identities and ideal membership of noncommutative polynomials", which was co-supervised by Georg Regensburger and Clemens Raab. Congratulations to Clemens for receiving this recognition.
