Research

We research the design of integrated digital, analogue and photonic systems. We are particularly interested in realising electronic-photonic integrated circuits (EPIC).

Research topics

Teaching

We are intensively involved in the teaching and training of students and young academics such as doctoral candidates, post-doctoral candidates and junior professors with the aim of providing them with the skills they need to shape the future.

Courses

Projects

We can provide companies with significant impetus for innovation and for maintaining their competitiveness. There are many approaches to this. They range from the placement of graduates through collaborative projects to contract developments, which we generally carry out via our spin-offs.

Project overview

„Discovering the causes of phenomena, whether scientific or social, gives me great pleasure and I believe that I will never stop learning new things.”

TamiFlex

TamiFlex is our solution to the dreaded "reflection problem" in static programme analysis for Java. With the help of so-called reflections, Java programmes can call methods and access fields and classes indirectly by passing a string to a special method of the Reflections API. These strings can be generated at runtime.
