A success story that will hopefully continue
Carter William Schmitt, an American and Purdue undergraduate student, visited OVGU as part of his studies in the first half of 2025 (https://www.vst.ovgu.de/W%C3%A4hrend+des+Studiums/Studierende/Auslandsaufenthalt.html). In addition to successfully completing numerous courses in process and systems engineering, Carter actively participated in research at the Chair of Thermal Process Engineering as an intern and student assistant in the Transport in Porous Media research group.
He was able to present his successful experiments with mealworms in a lecture at the international online conference “The 4th International Electronic Conference on Processes.” Carter's preliminary investigations were continued in a cooperation project with the University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy in Sofia (Bulgaria) in the second half of the year and, with a little luck, will be the starting point for a scientific research project between OVGU and the Technical University of Munich in the coming year.
We would like to thank Carter for his tremendous support of our experiments and their evaluation, as well as for his phenomenal presentation at the 4th International Electronic Conference on Processes! We wish him every success and all the best for his studies and hope to stay in touch with him in the future!
