Welcome to the Electronics Laboratory

The Electronics Lab (IfE) which is headed by Prof. Gerhard Tröster consists of 3 PostDocs, 20 PhD students and 2 technicians. Our core expertise lies in miniaturized mobile and flexible electronics, thinfilm technology and smart textile, as well as in signal processing, sensor fusion, machine learning and sensor platforms. We capitalize on this expertise in designing wearable computers capable of smart assistance.

In education, IfE provides basic training in digital systems at the undergraduate level. The spectrum of Master courses includes Wearable Systems, Computer Design, Integrated Circuits for high speed Communication as well as Optoelectronics.

Semester- and Mastertheses are closely connected to running research projects.

The PhD theses at IfE comprehend theoretical reasoning and prototype implementation using diverse facilities like the FIRST Lab.

Research projects cover the fields of:

• Wearable and mobile computing platforms
• Smart textiles and clothes
• Personal e-Health
• Individual activity and context recognition
• Opportunistic, collective, crowd-sourced activity and context recognition in Sensor Nets
  
• Flexible Electronics
  
• Wearable technologies for sports applications
• Music

Several spin-off companies have emerged from research at the Electronics Lab, e.g.:

• u-blox Holding AG
• Supercomputing Systems SCS
• Art-of-Technologies AoT
• ndd Medizintechnik AG
• Amphiro
