GeMiC 2024, 11-13 March 2024:
GeMiC 2024 offers a unique platform for exchange with experts and a great opportunity to network with colleagues from industry, research institutes and universities. terahertz.NRW took the opportunity and presented itself with a booth and lectures at the conference (Dr. Jan Wessel “MMICs for mm-wave to THz Joint Communication and Sensing”).
2nd IGS Doctoral Seminar 29 February 2024:
The 34 doctoral students discussed their research topics at the International Graduate School’s all-day seminar. In addition to doctoral theses on signal processing and hardware, the IGS also researches topics such as the acceptance of terahertz technology. This allows the doctoral students to network and exchange ideas across disciplines. The program was complemented by a keynote speech by Zachary Taylor from Aallto University, Finland.
Annual General Assembly terahertz.NRW, 7 November 2023:
All partners and members came together in Wachtberg for the network’s annual meeting. In an all-day event, PIs from the network were bid farewell and new PIs were elected. The results of the work packages to date were discussed and further developed in workshops. Around the program, there was plenty of opportunity for the more than 60 members to exchange ideas and network.
1st IGS Doctoral Seminar, 11 October 2023: The IGS held the first doctoral seminar in the RUB Makerspace in Bochum. In addition to scientific presentations by the doctoral students, guided tours of the event location were also offered and participants had the opportunity to exchange ideas. The Makerspace, which is part of the Transfer and Start-up Center Worldfactory, is one of the largest academic teaching facilities and experimental spaces in Germany. It offers space for start-ups in particular to exchange ideas and develop prototypes.
DGBMT 2024, 26-28 September 2023: terahertz.NRW member Prof. Elsa Kirchner (UDE) gave a key note on “Exoskeleton-supported stroke rehabilitation using embedded brain reading” at the 57th Annual Conference on Biomedical Engineering (BMT).
560 participants from 17 countries came together in the Mercator Hall in Duisburg for the annual conference on biomedical engineering, which brings together international experts to discuss current research and industry topics in the field of medical technology.
Prof. Niels Benson (NST, UDE) and Andreas Prokscha (DSV, UDE), both also terahertz.NRW members, organized the focus session “terahertz in Medicine”. Of course, terahertz.NRW was also represented with a stand at the accompanying exhibition.
