Electrical engineer Niels Köster from Virtual Vehicle Research (l.) with his thesis supervisor Oszkar Biro from the Institute of Fundamentals and Theory in Electrical Engineering. Lunghammer - TU Graz By Christoph Pelzl On his journey from practical mathematics to theoretical electrical engineering, Niels Köster improved his scientific writing skills and discovered a love of (industry-related) research.

I thought briefly of giving up my scientific career before it had even begun."

Instead, however, his journey led him to Virtual Vehicle Research , Europe's largest research centre for virtual vehicle development.
