Last Wednesday, 22.10.2025, this year's PhD Day took place at RWU.
A total of seven projects and doctoral theses were presented in detail by doctoral students from various faculties at the university. While Lisann Kaiser, project manager of the "rwu-prof" department, moderated the afternoon, the audience listened to the doctoral candidates' presentations. The presentations were followed by intensive discussions and questions.
The topics of the work are as diverse as the subjects studied at the university: foot scans, intercultural approaches for nursing degree courses or regulations for electrically powered bicycle trailers. Tobias Grüble's work focuses on the automated design of highly integrated robot grippers. Among other things, these are intended to optimize and accelerate engine production processes and make them more energy-efficient. In the case of the doctoral student, the gripper is used after production to grip and transport rotor magnets and finally insert them into the motor.
Tobias Grüble is being supported in his doctorate by RWU professors Markus Till and Ralf Stetter, as well as private lecturer Stephan Rudolph from the University of Stuttgart. Three doctoral projects are currently being carried out at RWU in cooperation with the latter. Part of Tobias Grüble's work is also being funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.
