Award for Hans-Peter Pampel – Recognized for Exceptional Commitment to the Promotion of Early-Career Researchers

Hans-Peter Pampel, Dipl.-Ing., was awarded the Encouragement Award by the association “Friends and Supporters of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at TU Dresden e. V.” in the category “Activities Beyond Teaching.” This award recognizes his longstanding and exceptional commitment to the promotion of early-career researchers and science communication.

As a laboratory director, Hans-Peter Pampel regularly opens the doors of the TU Dresden High-Voltage Hall to school classes. Each year, approximately 400 to 500 students attend his experimental lectures, gaining fascinating insights into the world of high-voltage engineering. Through impressive experiments, he vividly demonstrates the phenomena of high electrical voltages and explains their importance for a safe and reliable energy supply. In doing so, he succeeds in conveying even complex physical and technical concepts in an understandable way. He tailors his presentations in a targeted manner to the students’ age and level of knowledge.

Through his dedication, Hans-Peter Pampel helps make technical concepts understandable, sparks young people’s interest in science and technology, and at the same time educates them about the opportunities and challenges of the electrical energy supply. In doing so, he fosters an understanding of a key technology in the energy transition and provides an authentic introduction to research and university-level education. Furthermore, he offers insights into the diverse fields of electrical power engineering, thereby making an important contribution to science communication, academic guidance, and the recruitment of future students.

The team at the Chair of Components of Intelligent Energy Networks extends its warmest congratulations to Hans-Peter on this well-deserved award and thanks him for his many years of dedicated service!
