Our Ph.D. student Mr. Lucas Briest has received the first award for the best oral presentation at the AMPERE conference 2025, which took place from 15th to 18th September in Bari, Italy. The international conference with key focus on high power microwave applications takes place every two years. Lucas has presented our recent results in the field of microwave drying of bricks and tiles.

We wish Lucas much success with his excellent work for the future.
