A new doctor at the IFS

We are happy to report another new successful PhD student at the institute. Ashwin Walawalkar, who joined IFS in 2016 when Prof. Schindler moved from Kaiserslautern to Aachen, wrote his dissertation on the development of a dynamic payload estimation system for excavators. Certainly not a railroad topic, but highly challenging and very interesting.
Congratulations to Ashwin and many thanks to Prof. Karsten Berns, a former colleague of Prof. Schindler from TU Kaiserslautern, for the review. We also thank Prof. Jakob Andert for taking over the chair.
