Just a couple of weeks after Viktoria Dorfer received the Junior Researcher Award 2012 we can announce yet another HEAL laureate:

Yesterday, HEAL member Stephan Hutterer was honored as Research Associate of the Year by a jury of industry and university representatives in Wels (FH-Förderverein Wels). Stephan's research focus is on smart grids and e-mobility. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this field he splits his time between Hagenberg and Wels, combining expertise from both automation engineering and heuristic optimization. Joint-supervisors Michael Affenzeller and Franz Auinger - and of course the entire HEAL team - congratulate Stephan to this well-deserved achievement.
