Philippe Müllhaupt “teaches the old-fashioned way.” And it seems to work, since he has been named the best teacher in the Mechanical Engineering section for 2025.

He first learned to appreciate teaching thanks to his music theory professor. Although he quickly gave up music, he never lost his enjoyment of sharing knowledge with others.
