Long-standing employee retires
Elke Benedix, employed at Chemnitz University of Technology since 1999, retired on 1 June 2021. She began working at the Chair of Materials and Surface Engineering in 2008.
Ms Benedix studied process engineering specialising in plastics technology at the Technical University of Karl-Marx-Stadt and then worked in an industrial environment for almost 20 years. In addition to the skills she acquired during this time, she acquired many new skills for her work at Chemnitz University of Technology from 1999 onwards, which she applied with great dedication to her main field of work, corrosion investigations at the professorship. In addition, Ms Benedix made important contributions to research at the professorship at the nanoindenter on the micro- and nanoscale. Her tasks also included investigations using X-ray fluorescence analysis, the climate chamber and the 3D profilometer. Mrs Benedix also contributed her expertise to teaching – in many practical courses, e.g. on the courses „Corrosion and Wear“ and „Functional Materials“, she supported the training of students. She also contributed to the success of many of the Institute's events by reliably fulfilling organisational tasks.
On behalf of the entire professorship, we would like to thank Mrs Benedix warmly for her many years of dedicated work at the professorship and wish her a relaxing retirement.
