Awards for outstanding teaching and Students Council special prize given out at Academic
For the fifth time, the University of Stuttgart has awarded the Teaching Prize at the Academic Anniversary. The award, which the University first presented in 2015, emphasizes the strategic importance of excellent teaching. This year the prize has been awarded to two people: Holger Cartarius of the Institute of Theoretical Physics V and Ewald Krämer, Head of the Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics. Additionally, the Students Council stuvus awarded a special prize for extraordinary commitment to teaching to Carlos Camino, Markus Friedrich, Dominik Göddeke, Sabine Holtz and Peter Pott. In giving this award, the University of Stuttgart primarily honors Cartarius's ability to transparently convey extremely abstract material to students with different levels of knowledge, as well as the "Literary Seminar on Contemporary Physics" held by him outside of core hours, in which he supports students by answering whatever questions they may have together. Holger Cartarius studied Physics at the University of Stuttgart and gained his doctorate from the Institute of Theoretical Physics I. After a period of time as a postdoc at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, he returned to Stuttgart, where he qualified as a lecturer in theoretical physics in 2014 and then researched and taught as a Privatdozent. Among other things, his strong interest in teaching led him towards the methodology of teaching physics.
