BioDivKI2: BioDivKI2

Biodiversity is a key indicator of ecosystem resilience, but current monitoring methods for insect populations are costly, time-consuming, and require expert knowledge. BioDivKI2 develops an AI-supported solution based on acoustic signatures to enable efficient insect monitoring, integrating sensor technology, practical studies, and citizen science to enhance biodiversity assessment and public awareness.

Student Theses

Open Theses Topics

ADC Evaluation for Energy-Efficient Sensor Data Acquisition

Typ: Forschungsprojekt
Status: offen
Supervisors: Davis Rakhshan
Evaluate a new ADC as a potential replacement for the ADC currently used in an embedded sensor system. Compare both solutions in terms of signal quality, sampling performance, energy consumption, and the quality of acquired sensor data.

AI Accelerator for Energy-Efficient Edge AI

Typ: Forschungsprojekt
Status: offen
Supervisors: Davis Rakhshan
Design and evaluate a custom AI accelerator board based on the STM32N6 for integration into an existing sensor system, enabling efficient neural-network inference directly at the edge.
