Along his academic journey from India to Freiburg and Cottbus, John Joe Padua is pursuing the goal of making industrial production more sustainable. With a focus on hydrogen infrastructure and the European electricity market, he is working on solutions for a low-carbon future and deepening his expertise at the Decarbonisation Summer School.

The new Medical Engineering study programme started at the Senftenberg site of the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) in the 2022/23 winter semester. The first student, Marlene Felker, has now completed her studies - successfully and within the regular duration of the standard programme.

In future, those affected will work together with BTU scientists at the practical research centre in Cottbus to find out how mobility, social integration into society and the health of older people can be improved. The launch ceremony will take place on Tuesday, 9 September 2025 at 3.30 pm in the "Startblock B2" start-up centre.
