Patricia-Pahamy Award 2025 for Kevin Bauerbach and Ermin Malic
The Patricia-Pahamy Award 2025 is awarded annually at the Physics Department's summer festival. Professor Malic has been nominated multiple times and is popular among students for his clear, structured teaching style and innovative lecture concept. He uses quizzes, well-planned breaks, and understandable explanations of mathematical content, which helps many students overcome their fear of theoretical physics. His well-prepared lecture notes and exercises, along with fair exams, are highly appreciated. Kevin Bauerbach has also been nominated several times and impresses with his dedication and ability to explain complex topics clearly. Especially in "Computational Methods 2," he manages to make abstract content accessible. The tutors Philipp, Bjarne, and the entire SoS tutoring team do exceptional work: they invest a lot of time, explain patiently and with humor, and help students get started in physics studies. Their efforts are recognized as deserving of the award.
