The production technician is a director at the Leibniz-Institut für Werkstofforientierte Technologien (IWT) and a professor in the Faculty of Production Engineering at the University of Bremen. He specializes in machining processes and ultraprecision manufacturing. Professor Bernhard Karpuschewski is a leading international expert in the field of manufacturing technology. The scientist from the University of Bremen has now received another award for his achievements. Professor András Torma, President of the University of Miskolc in Hungary, awarded Karpuschewski an honorary doctorate for his internationally outstanding activities in the development of manufacturing processes, precision machining technologies, and machining processes with grinding and cutting processes, as well as for his many years of cooperation with the Hungarian university. “I have worked closely with the University of Miskolc for many years. I feel that the honorary doctorate is a special appreciation of my work and the many years of cooperation,” says Professor Karpuschewski. The honorary doctorate is the highest distinction awarded by the University of Miskolc. Professor Eva-Maria Feichtner, Vice President of the University of Bremen, took part in the award ceremony.
Long-Term Cooperation with the University of Miskolc
In the past, Professor Karpuschewski worked closely with the university located in the northeast of Hungary on various production technology research projects. The researcher from Bremen also supported the scientists in the Faculties of Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science with infrastructural questions. In addition, he supervised the doctoral projects of research assistants. By 2011, Karpuschewski had been awarded the honorary professorship of this faculty at the University of Miskolc.
