Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg mourns the loss of Peter Kusch. The long-time research associate at the Department of Natural Sciences passed away on 21 May at the age of 72.

When Peter Kusch joined the university, it was still in its start-up phase. He worked for the Department of Natural Sciences in Rheinbach for more than 20 years. There, he was particularly influential in instrumental analysis and in the field of materials and contract analysis. As an enthusiastic supervisor of internships and final theses, he prepared numerous students for their career paths. He also made a name for himself in research. Peter Kusch retired in 2018.

In sadness and gratitude, Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg bids farewell to a deserving colleague. It will always honour Peter Kusch's memory.
