Atanaska Trifonova is the first female scientist at AIT, who was appointed to the position of Principal Scientist in the battery research area last week.
Christian Chimani (HoD) and Helmut Oberguggenberger (GFL EDT) honored that great success: “We are very proud of the success of Atanaska and delighted about this appointment. Rarely a commission has recommended the work of our “outstanding candidate” with so many superlatives. We hope, Atanaska will enthuse us with her dedication and we wish her the very best for her work.”
