Today, Sayyid (Hafiyyan Sayyid Fadhlillah, https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Ae-cMfcAAAAJ&hl=en, opens an external URL in a new window) very successfully defended his PhD thesis "A Multidisciplinary Variability Management Approach for Control Software in Cyber-Physical Production Systems", a core result of the CD Lab VaSiCS. The thesis was supervised by Rick Rabiser and Alois Zoitl. We want to thank the defense committee, especially external reviewer Thomas Thüm, but also Manuel Wimmer and Josef Küng as head of committee!

We look back at 4 years of excellent research work done by Sayyid. Also, Sayyid is just the best team member and colleague one could wish for. Always helpful and motivated. While we wish him all the best for his post-doc at another university, we will miss Sayyid a lot! Please always stay in touch and keep collaborating with us!
