Dr. Wenzel successfully completed his habilitation on 23 January 2025 with a scientific lecture on ‘Advances in the understanding of compressible turbulent boundary layers’ and a concluding colloquium. He was subsequently awarded authorisation to teach (Venia Legendi) in the subject of fluid mechanics. He is thus permitted to give lectures in this subject independently and hold the title ‘Privatdozent’. At the meeting of the Grand Faculty Council on 6 March 2025, the Dean, Prof. Stefanos Fasoulas, awarded him the habilitation certificate and the certificate of appointment as a private lecturer (PD).
