Research at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering
Our focus is on application-oriented research—at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, our institutes, and our technology transfer centers. This is also evident in many research projects, collaborative doctoral programs, and, not least, in the Applied Research master program. Our state-of-the-art laboratories support both teaching and research. This page provides an overview of our diverse research activities.
Our Future Topics
In all of its research activities, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering focuses on several topics of the future.
Energy Transition
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Finkel and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christine Schwaegerl cover research areas ranging from networks and smart energy to renewable energy at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering.
Communication
At the Institute for Resource-Efficient Data Transmission and Processing (THA_ired), Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reinhard Stolle and his team are developing highly innovative solutions for the rapid transmission, processing, and distribution of electronic data. This work takes place within the framework of publicly and privately funded research and development projects in cooperation with academic partners and leading companies. THA_ired trains its own next generation of researchers through Master of Applied Research projects and collaborative doctoral programs with partner universities.
People and Technology
Whether the focus is on aspects such as collaborative robotics—as in the Creative Engineering (B.A./B.Eng.) program under Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Martina Königbauer, or health and inclusion, as in the Medical Technology (B.Eng.) program under Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christoph Zeuke, the interplay between people and technology is always a central focus at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering.
