These Alumni Have Celebrated in Recent Years

TUM Vice President Prof. Dr. Claudia Peus, TUM Alumnus Dr. Jan-Olaf Barth, and TUM Chancellor Albert Berger (l. to r.).

Innovation Leader Jan-Olaf Barth

"The TUM gave me perseverance and resilience for the journey ahead"

From chemist to innovation leader: TUM Alumnus Jan-Olaf Barth channels his scientific expertise into the development of innovative high-performance plastics — shaping solutions for global challenges such as sustainability, mobility, and resource efficiency.

Nobel Laureate Johann Deisenhofer

"As a Scientist, You Never Know Everything, But You Are Always Discovering New Things"

In the mid-1960s, Johann Deisenhofer came to TUM as a young student, attracted by the opportunity to attend lectures by Nobel Laureate Robert Mößbauer. His early years of study fundamentally shaped his understanding of physics and the work of scientists. With his subsequent doctorate, he delved deeper into the then-new field of biochemistry. Together with his doctoral advisor and fellow TUM Alumnus Robert Huber, he discovered structures that had never been seen by human eyes before. In 1988, at the age of just 45, Johann Deisenhofer, along with Robert Huber and Hartmut Michel, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Geoinformaticist Jürgen Schopp

“It Was Always about My Abilities Here, Not My Impairment”

For many years, TUM alumnus Jürgen Schopp was focused on proving that, despite his hearing impairment, he could succeed in the hearing world. Time and again, people he encountered recognized his potential. Schopp’s expertise in the field of geographical information ultimately led to his appointment to a leadership position.

TUM Honorary Senator Robert Schmucker

“I Am Grateful for My Life”

Robert Schmucker is one of the very few rocket experts in the world who has worked with so many different types of rockets. Precisely this wide range is what is important to him. Professionally, he has always been demanding, but privately in contrast, he is rather modest. This makes his commitment all the greater.

Microbiologist Karl-Otto Stetter

“I Didn't Want a Secret Curiosity Shop“

Karl-Otto Stetter is recognized as a pioneer in the study of primeval life. His unabated desire to explore led him to the most remote regions in the world. Whether it is about rare and novel microbes or exotic orchids, the TUM Alumni is always sharing his findings with the world.

“My Motivation Was to Help People”

For almost forty years, TUM Alumni Wolfram Ruhenstroth-Bauer advocated for refugee and development aid. His commitment far exceeded any official duties and was highly decorated. For him, it was simply humanity at work.
