Every year the Manager Magazin bestowes two young scientists with this award "for their outstanding and pioneering research".
From the laudatio: "As a computer scientist, Vahid Babaei develops new software that enables machines to decide for themselves on the shape of their products. Sophisticated 3-D design, for example, is intended to optimize the effect of individually designed tablets on each patient."
Vahid is now in the magazine's Hall of Fame of German Research
