The Faculty of Physics and Astronomy mourns the death of Dr. Udo Arendt.
After a long and serious illness, Dr. Udo Arendt passed away on March 22, 2023.
Udo Arendt received his PhD from the Chair of Theoretical Space and Astrophysics at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum in 1991 and subsequently worked tirelessly as a research associate at the faculty for more than two decades. He was able to contribute his diverse expertise in a number of areas, first as the faculty's computer officer, but then increasingly both in teaching and on numerous committees of the faculty and the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. In addition, he was also very active outside the university, for example as a long-time board member of the German Unix User Group.

With Mr. Arendt, the faculty has lost a very competent, dedicated and helpful employee who was highly appreciated by colleagues and students alike.
We will keep Udo Arendt in good and grateful memory.
