Doctoral Center NITRO
What is the Doctoral Center NITRO?
With the doctoral center “Sustainable intelligent technologies for resource-optimized production” (NITRO), the THA is represented in a network with the Deggendorf Institute of Technology and Landshut University of Applied Sciences.
The mission of the doctoral center is to provide intelligent and sustainable technologies for resource-optimized production. This is done with three focal points:
- When researching intelligent production systems & processes, methods such as AI, Industrial Internet of Things and Digital Twin are applied.
- The focus area Product Design & Materials Engineering addresses the sustainable combination of different material classes and their processing methods to manufacture sustainable products.
- The Technology & Innovation focus area focuses on systemic approaches (in particular model-based systems engineering) and integrates sustainability assessments such as life cycle assessments into the evaluation of products and production processes.
The key topics of sustainability and resource efficiency are an integral part of all research activities at the doctoral center.
