ongoing projects
MINI is investigating the non-invasive blockade of nerve conduction using high-frequency magnetic stimulation. To this end, the project team combines scientific expertise from the fields of anesthesiology, medical physics and biomedical microtechnology.
The establishment of a centre for model-based artificial intelligence is intended to improve the treatment of cancer. It is investigating how AI systems can support cancer research more efficiently through pre-programmed knowledge.
BioBrix aims to develop new types of binders and fiber reinforcements made from leather, natural fiber and wool waste for the production of building materials. Their use in unbaked clay, concrete and floors is intended to increase the strength and durability of the building materials and minimize their CO2 footprint.
The project team is researching the treatment of heart failure using a combination of novel AI approaches and robotics. Comprehensive health data will be used to train an AI that will identify new correlations between the disease and the values and incorporate them into the therapy.
The "Smart Neighbourhood Jena-Lobeda" is used to examine how a multigenerational neighbourhood with working and living space can promote self-determined living into old age through intelligent digital technologies.
Prof. Dr. Martin Schreivogel, Professor of Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering at Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences, is investigating fuel cell and electrolyzer systems. By measuring and processing a large number of operating parameters, a model is being developed to optimize the systems.
Scientists from the fields of geology, chemistry and physics are working on how established methods of earthquake research can be reduced from the kilometer scale to nanometer dimensions and how cells, for example, can be mapped directly in 3D in the future.
The aim of the project is to 3D print microrobots made of different materials with a level of detail precision in the nanometer range. By combining different materials, the microrobots can take on a variety of functions.
Prof. Dr. Tanja Maritzen has been appointed as an Endowed Professor of Nanophysiology - High Resolution Subcellular Pattern Formation at TU Kaiserslautern.
Protein sequencing promises to significantly advance research and medicine, but is expensive and time-consuming. Simultaneous measurement of electrical signals and fluorescence should enable rapid, cost-effective protein sequencing.
