Löten auf grosser Bühne
Wer hier aufs Podest kommt, gehört zu den weltbesten Berufstalenten: PSI-Elektroniker Melvin Deubelbeiss gewann bei den WorldSkills 2024 die Silbermedaille.
Der Herr des Fliessens
Schon als Student begeisterte sich Athanasios Mokos für die Dynamik von Flüssigkeiten. Heute modelliert er am Paul Scherrer Institut PSI komplexe Vorgänge wie die Bildung von Ablagerungen an Reaktorbrennstäben.
