PD Dr.-Ing. Marian Walter was officially presented with the certificate conferring the title of ‘Adjunct Professor’ (apl. Prof.). This appointment by the faculty recognises his long-standing and consistent contributions to academic teaching, as well as his academic profile in medical technology.
The award of an adjunct professorship is subject to strict scientific criteria. A prerequisite is the Habilitation, which already demonstrates teaching competence (Venia Legendi). The title is awarded to academics who, beyond the Habilitation, have achieved outstanding results in research and teaching. Within the academic system, an adjunct professor takes on responsibilities in independently representing their field of expertise, supervising doctoral candidates, and acquiring and managing third-party funded projects.
Dr Marian Walter has been working for many years at the Chair of Medical Information Technology (MedIT) at the Helmholtz Institute for Biomedical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University. Following his PhD in the field of automated lung ventilation, he consolidated his expertise at the interface between electrical engineering and clinical application.
In addition to his research work, Marian Walter plays a key role in the training of students in electrical engineering, information technology and biomedical engineering. His teaching is characterised by the systematic imparting of the fundamentals of systems theory and their application to medical practice. His appointment as an adjunct professor underscores the excellence of the academic staff at the MedIT Chair and ensures the high quality of scientific training at RWTH Aachen University in the field of Medical Information Technology.
The Faculty and the Institute congratulate Prof. Dr.-Ing. Marian Walter on this academic recognition and look forward to continuing their successful collaboration.
