cfaed congratulates its two Associate Members Professor Christel Baier, and Professor Andreas Richter! Both were elected as deans of their respective faculties in January.
On January 15, 2025, the Faculty of Computer Science at TU Dresden elected Professor Christel Baier as their new Dean. Christel Baier is Chair of Algebraic and Logical Foundations of Computer Science and has already worthily represented the Faculty of Computer Science over the past six years as Vice-Dean, as well as fulfilling the role of Chairperson of the Examination Committee for the Computer Science degree programs with great commitment for many years.
Christel Baier succeeds Ivo Sbalzarini, Chair of Scientific Computing for Systems Biology, who has headed the Faculty of Computer Science as Dean from 2021 until now: "I am extremely pleased to be able to hand over the office to Christel Baier. She is the best possible choice for the Faculty, which now has a female Dean for the first time in its history. And personally, I am particularly pleased that my Vice-Dean and deputy is now taking over the reins herself. I have only learned to appreciate and respect Christel even more through our work together on the Faculty Board and have complete trust in her and her team."
The Council of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology elected Professor Andreas Richter as the new Dean on 15 January. Professor Richter holds the Chair of Microsystems Engineering and has been Vice Dean of the Faculty since 2018. He will now lead the faculty as Dean for an initial term of three years. He succeeds Professor Karlheinz Bock, who led the Faculty as Dean from 2020 until now.
