Research
Our research focus is digital data and signal processing, real-time data processing, energy-efficient processing, as well as reliability, fault tolerance and embedded fault diagnosis in the context of 'smart' sensor technology.
Research Projects
Ongoing Projects
- AuRelia: Autonomous and Reliable SCG-Sensor System for Human Space Exploration
- The AuRelia project addresses challenges of health sensors for lunar missions with strong sensor autonomy and extremely high reliability. It focuses on SCG (Seismocardiography) sensors and serves as a foundation for further fundamental research on SCG, marking the first investigation into artifact formation on SCG.
- SatelLight: SatelLight
- The SatelLight project addresses the challenges of internal communications within a satellite. Research is being conducted into how LiFi - data transmission via light - can be used to replace cable harnesses and make communications more secure, robust and reliable.
- EduSat: Kleinsatellit als Chance für Fach-, Semesterübergreifende und interdisziplinäre Lehre
- ...stay tuned! big things are about to happen here!
- SArES: SArES - SCG-Sensorsystem für Artemis II Experiment SpacePatch
- SArES is making an important contribution to future SCG sensor systems for monitoring the health of astronauts. In particular, SArES research will focus on local data backup and a hardware, firmware and software system tailored to the Artemis mission as a flight-capable system.
- RISA: RISA - Reliability Investigation of Low Power FPGAs for Space Applications
- RISA (Reliability Investigation of Low Power FPGAs for Space Applications) is a small payload for the PLUTO technology demonstrator satellite. In particular, RISA tests the suitability of low-power FPGAs for use in space missions and evaluates mechanisms for detecting errors. RISA payload will provide important findings for the reliable use of LP FPGAs in space environments.
Finished Projects
- BEAT: (Wireless Compose 2) BEAT - Ballistocardiography for Extraterrestrial Applications and Long-Term Missions
- The BEAT experiment performed on the ISS is investigating ballistocardiography as a method for inconspicuous and resource-saving long-term monitoring of cardiovascular function.
