On Monday, November 13th, we had the opportunity to welcome our graduate, Ing. Michal Mateáš from Schaeffler Slovensko, s.r.o., for a guest lecture as part of the engineering course "Modeling in Process Industry."
The lecture's topic, "Mathematical modeling as a cornerstone in product development," revealed how modeling contributes to effective thermal management of the powertrain system in electric vehicles. Ing. Mateáš provided insights into the technical challenges and innovations encountered in the contemporary industry. It was an opportunity to learn about the theoretical aspects of modeling and its practical applications in an industrial environment.
We thank Ing. Mateáš for sharing his experiences and knowledge, and we look forward to future meetings!

Our colleague Ing. Michaela Horváthová, PhD. was awarded the Award of the rector of the STU for excellent academic results during doctoral studies. This award was received during the ceremony, which took place on 4 October 2023, by three graduates of doctoral studies at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava. Congratulations and many more successes!
We are proud to announce that the FrontSeat Scientific Seminar at the University of Pisa will deliver two interesting lectures presented by recognized speakers Prof. Alberto Bemporad and Dr. Mario Eduardo Villanueva. The seminar will take place at the School of Engineering, Aula Magna Pacinotti on October 12 from 10:30 to 12:30.
Our colleague doc. Ing. MSc. Martin Klaučo, PhD. was nominated among the 5 ESET Science Award 2023 finalists in the category Outstanding Personality of Science under the age of 35. Laureates of the ESET Science Award are selected on the basis of a demanding evaluation process that takes into account the entire complex of criteria, such as the contribution of their scientific and research work to society, scientific performance, measurable scientometric data, participation in the solution of important international research projects, or the visibility of Slovak science and research abroad. The award ceremony will take place on October 12 at 8:10 p.m. viewers can watch it live on RTVS. Congratulations!
The annual meeting of IAM was held in Valtice, Czech Republic on September 4-6.
On September 6, the high school students attending the 13th Summer University at STU visited IAM, where they learned more about industrial process control, automation, and the development of our smart greenhouse.
