Heartfelt condolences to the Hesler family ! When I just started to work in Terahertz technology in India, I had mailed Sir requesting for his thesis, to which he replied back and sent me his thesis.

All of our employees pray for the repose of his soul.

May the days to come be easier to bear with pleasant and peaceful memories of time spent together and love shared.
