On Friday (5 December), the Rectorate of the University of Münster honoured the best doctoral theses of 2025. Among the theses are two from the nonlinear physics research groups, for which we would like to congratulate Thomas Seidel (Gurevich research group) and Tobias Wand (Thiele research group).
A total of 122 young scientists received the highest possible grade of ‘summa cum laude’ for their work. In their honour, the Rectorate hosted a reception in the auditorium of the castle and joined in this ‘highest praise’. ‘We are proud to honour such a large number of successful graduates. This is proof that the University of Münster trains excellent young scientists across its entire range of subjects,’ emphasised Rector Prof. Dr Johannes Wessels. ‘With the topics and content of their work, they are providing significant impetus in their fields of research and thus contributing to the further development of the university's research profile.’ A total of around 750 young scientists obtain their doctorates at the University of Münster each year.
