In this respect, she feels it is her responsibility to act as a role model for young women who also want to pursue a career in STEM professions:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em> \u201eI would like to set a good example and encourage young women to develop their own potential.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When it comes to doctorates, everyone agrees that they allow you to constantly learn new things and develop yourself.

There are simulative projects, where computer models are used to analyse and predict complex systems, and laboratory-based projects, where practical experiments and physical tests are carried out on energy systems.<\/p>\n<p>The research projects are often closely linked to the doctoral topics of the staff and lead to the publication of research results in renowned scientific publications. The exchange with other research institutions and universities promotes an intensive scientific discourse and contributes to the further development of the projects. In addition, participation in international conferences offers the opportunity to present research results to a wide audience and to gain <strong>new insights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Industrial projects at the IAEW are a unique opportunity to actively participate in the strategic decisions and innovation processes of companies. These projects enable staff to gain relevant practical experience during their doctorate and to make a significant impact at an early stage. By working directly with industry partners, they not only enhance their technical expertise, but also develop important project management and strategic planning skills. They can also build a <strong>strong network<\/strong> of industry partners during their time at university.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3983\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/09\/julien-maculan-FGPxT0C_UK0-unsplash-1-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/09\/julien-maculan-FGPxT0C_UK0-unsplash-1-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/09\/julien-maculan-FGPxT0C_UK0-unsplash-1-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/09\/julien-maculan-FGPxT0C_UK0-unsplash-1-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/09\/julien-maculan-FGPxT0C_UK0-unsplash-1-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/09\/julien-maculan-FGPxT0C_UK0-unsplash-1-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/09\/julien-maculan-FGPxT0C_UK0-unsplash-1-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition, a doctoral degree offers a wide range of opportunities for personal and professional development.
