Our year concludes with Urs’ PhD defense. Urs - who started his PhD in 2016 - first presented his PhD project in front of family, friends and colleagues and afterwards was examined by Prisca, Susan Gasser, Luca Giorgetti, Darren Gilmore and Marc Bühler. He received a ‘Summa cum laude’ for his outstanding performance. His hat was decorated with a confetti-throwing volcano that depicted the hurdles of a PhD. This also marked the end of Urs’ time at FMI. The group will miss him and wishes him all the best for his future!
