Jahresbericht 08 - PMOD/WRC

Administration
The electronics department gained a new member of staff:
Ricco Soder was employed as an engineer and will mainly
be involved with the design and construction of prototype
instruments. Alongside his job, Ricco is studying electrical
engeneering at the HTW Chur.
Christian Gubser who was previously an apprentice at
PMOD/WRC, also supported us for a short 2-month assignment.
Another electronics apprentice successfully finished his
training at our institute in August: Chasper Buchli successfully
attended Training College and passed his apprentice
exams with good marks. The whole team is proud
of his achievements! He was employed as an electronic
technician at PMOD/WRC until his enlistment as a military
conscript, after which he hopes to continue his studies in
Higher Education.
Matthias Müller joined the apprentice team in the electronics
department and began his training at the beginning of
August.
The administration department also gained a new apprentice.
Nadia Casanova, as well as Matthias Müller, began
her training in August and we look forward to working with
her.
After the birth of her son, Denise Dicht, who is the PMOD
housekeeper and cleaner, reduced her working hours.
Savina Stark joined the team on 1st April and will help out
for one year. In addition, Jutta Jäger has started a parttime
cleaning job at PMOD.
As in every year, PMOD/WRC also engaged numerous civil
conscripts in 2008 who supported our work with enthusiasm
and energy. We also thank their engagement.
