She was awarded the top prize, which is awarded by the technology company Zeiss to honor women in IT, in Dresden at the end of September. Second and third prizes went to computer scientists from Berlin and Magdeburg respectively. The prize winners for 2020 are not just three talented young female computer scientists who have demonstrated outstanding performances in their subject, but they have also all shown exemplary commitment to social issues alongside their university studies. The patron of the award and honored guest at the prize-giving ceremony is Elke Büdenbender, the wife of Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and an enthusiastic advocate of looking beyond gender cliches when choosing a career. After completing her bachelor's degree in Konstanz Louisa Fay switched to the University of Stuttgart to start a master's degree course in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, and is due to graduate shortly. "Something to do with math", was what the 25-year-old decided on after finishing high school, since she had been a passionate enthusiast of brain teasers even at a young age.
