RUB mourns Prof. Padma Kant Shukla
Ruhr-Universität Bochum is mourning the loss of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Padma Kant Shukla (Physics and Astronomy). He died suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack on a business trip in New Delhi, India, on 26 January 2013.
Prof. Shukla was very passionate about the internationalisation of Ruhr-Universität Bochum. He was the first holder of the International Chair and the first official international ambassador of RUB. He was also a member of the Internationalisation Workgroup and was fully committed to helping researchers, extending RUB’s networks across country boarders and increasing its international reputation.
The International Office is looking back on a long, successful collaboration. We have lost an important supporter and discussion partner.
