Each of the ten sub-projects presented the main results of their research work from the second project phase. Some…

The fourth consortium meeting of the LiRaS research project, in which our "System and Circuit Technology"  workgroup is involved, took place from September 9 to 10th. This time, Cycle invited all partners to Hamburg in the north of Germany. The two days were used to discuss current technical issues. The host took the opportunity to present not only its own premises on the DESY campus, but also the city of Hamburg during an evening trip on the…

Requirements are identified and initial concepts developed: the “collaboration and learning environment for value-based business model generation” is taking shape. Accordingly, the successful first milestone was celebrated by all project partners taking part in Paderborn. It is now clear, for example, that a digital business model in KLUG is always based on a sustainable understanding of value, which combines social, economic and ecological…

Prof. Dr. Rainer Dömer from UC Irvine, CA will support the System and Circuit Technology Group as guest professor until September 2025. His current research interests are system description languages and simulation. In winter semester 2024/25 he will give a lecture on “Embedded System Modeling & Design” (L.048.25025/L.048.92050 - 2L/2E - 6 ECTS).  He is also planning a cooperation with the project group “Electronic System Design” (L.048.98503)…

Annika Junker successfully completed her doctorate on the topic of “Data-driven modeling of nonlinear mechatronic systems in a form applicable for control engineering”. The first supervisor and DART follow-up group leader was Dr Julia Timmermann, the chair of the doctoral committee was Prof. Dr Ansgar Trächtler. Abstract: Model-based control design requires accurate insight into the dynamic behavior of the underlying physical system. Machine…

Our “Data Science” workgroup welcomes its new member Albert Khomich. In his workgroup, he works on the “Whale” project, which deals with the development of new methods to improve data integration and semantics on the web. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling and keeping fit with calisthenics. Welcome Albert!

From August 26th to 30th, Alexander Werning from our “Communications Engineering” workgroup attended the “32nd European Signal Processing Conference” (EUSIPCO 2024) in Lyon, France. There he presented his paper “Target-specific Dataset Pruning for Compression of Audio Tagging Models”. More information about the conference can be found here. Click here for the paper.

Paderborn University research project presents product at the European Microwave Week Precise signals for data transmission are essential for measurement technology, radar systems and telecommunications. In the “RadiOptics” research project, which was launched last June at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at Paderborn University and from which QuSinus GmbH emerged, scientists are therefore working on a signal generator that aims to reduce potential…

Lean production methods, digital tools, engineering design, use of collaborative robots – in the "Applied Production Technology" course, students analyze and design an assembly system. They gain practical experience, adapt assembly and storage systems and optimize processes. The new designed assembly system is simulated in the “SAMRT Innovation Lab” laboratory infrastructure. The findings enable them to identify and implement further optimization…

Digital business models require digital expertise - this is how Alena Tušek presented the BMBF project "KLUG" coordinated by the Chair for Product Creation at the kick-off of the "DaWeNa-HUB" on 26 June in Munich. The DaWeNa-HUB bundles all projects funded in the "DigiLeistDAT" funding programme. Dominik Wiechel, Alena Tušek and Annika Reich also took part in workshops on the topics of digital business model innovations, data strategies in the…

Ricarda-Samantha Götte successfully completed her doctorate on the topic of “Online estimation of model inaccuracies for automatic model adaptation while maintaining a physical-technical interpretability”. The first supervisor and DART follow-up group leader was Dr Julia Timmermann, the chair of the doctoral committee was Prof. Dr Ansgar Trächtler. Abstract: The aim of this thesis is the development of a model-based observer for input-affine,…

Generative Design in lightweight construction for mobility systems – the BIKINI research project of our workgroup " product creation", funded by the BMWK and launched in 2021, is coming to an end after 3 years. The jointly developed methods and software prototypes enable the automated collection of requirements and end-to-end sustainability assessment. The case study developed for different application scenarios showed the great relevance for…
