Bloemfontein - The Central University of Technology (CUT) honoured one of the world’s most influential scientific minds with an Honorary Doctorate in Engineering at its Bloemfontein campus on Wednesday.


Professor Seeram Ramakrishna, from the National University of Singapore, shared some inspirational knowledge with almost 3 500 graduates about what he has learned in over three decades of research in his field.


Ramakrishna has been appointed as a visiting Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering at CUT.

He says he hopes this appointment is the beginning of a great partnership. “I’ve already made several arrangements to build much more interactions between our university and CUT. I’m actually seeing South African students exploring Singapore and beyond in the future. There’s a lot of entrepreneurial opportunity because Asia is growing,” he said.
