At the recent DVN Paris Workshop, Paul-Henri Matha (shown here with Hector Fratty) won the second decennial DVN Personality of the Decade award, succeeding Wolfgang Huhn. Here in the editorial page of this week’s DVNewsletter, he gives a lovely encore presentation of his thoughts:
“First, I want to thank the complete DVN team for the organization of the workshop in Paris last month. It was really a pleasure to participate again physically in a DVN Workshop.
During this event, DVN organized an award ceremony.
I was so proud when DVN team called me to the stage for the Personality of the Decade award. After Wolfgang Huhn 10 years ago, it is now me on the floor. Strange feeling!
This is what is so good about these workshops. R&D teams can join with colleagues from electronics; software; design, procurement…it is not only a workshop for engineers, but for the whole lighting community. These workshops make lighting understanding always better and communication easier in a big company like a car maker.
After this workshop, I showed the award to my family and the Volvo team, and I tried to summarize a bit what I have done during these last 10 years. So many things; time really flies! “
