Dr. Toralf Renkwitz appointed honorary professor at Wismar University of Applied Sciences
The Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics congratulates Dr.-Ing. Toralf Renkwitz on his appointment as honorary professor at Wismar University of Applied Sciences, where the official appointment ceremony took place on December 10, 2024. Dr. Renkwitz will represent the field of Communication Technology in the future.
Dr. Renkwitz has been supporting the Faculty of Engineering at Wismar University of Applied Sciences since 2018. After a one-year deputy professorship, he has since been active with regular teaching assignments in the field of electrical engineering and computer science. In addition, he heads the “Telecommunications Engineering Project” in the Information and Electrical Engineering Master's program and gives students the opportunity to benefit from his extensive practical experience.
As a senior research scientist at the IAP, Dr Renkwitz has many years of expertise in radar technology for research into the dynamics and ionization of the middle atmosphere. This expertise not only enriches teaching at Wismar University of Applied Sciences, but also enables students to gain their own research experience as part of their final theses. This combination of science and practice promotes young scientists in a significant way.
Dr. Renkwitz's appointment as an honorary professor is a tribute to his commitment, as his teaching and research make a vital contribution to the education of future engineers.
The Leibniz-Institute of Atmospheric Physics is one of the German main centers for Middle Atmosphere research and maintains active cooperations with several international research organizations. The institute is located near the Baltic Sea resort Kühlungsborn, owns a separate site on the island Rügen, and is a major partner of the ALOMAR observatory in northern Norway. As associated institute of the Rostock University it is part of the teaching programme in physics. A total of about 90 persons is employed at IAP. The institute realizes an equal-opportunity and family-friendly human resource policy and is certified with the audit "berufundfamilie" ('career and family').
