200 students and staff have celebrated on Friday, November 20th, the first International Day at the Faculty of Engineering.
Repeated success in the Automatic Machine Learning Challenge (AutoML)
Prämierter Vortrag und Top-Platzierung beim Fotowettbewerb auf dem Workshop „Funktionelle Nanostrukturen“ der Baden-Württemberg Stiftung für Matthias Breitwieser, Lukas Zielke und Severin Vierrath
"f-cell award – award for innovative fuel cell technology" for researchers of the Lab for MEMS Applications and Hahn-Schickard - for the second time in succession
Freiburg researchers have developed a method for measuring soft, structured surfaces using optical forces
The 29th edition of the international EUROSENSORS Conference took place in the Freiburg Concert Hall from Sep. 6 to 9.
Being able to save large amounts of electric energy and making them available for mobile access are important prerequisites for the further development of renewable energies. Within the framework of the »Sustainability Center«, Fraunhofer IAF, together with partners from the University of Freiburg, is working on the development of super capacitors based on graphene. Such devices promise many advantages for application in mobile electrical power supply systems, for instance in electric cars.
Ordonez, Group Leader at the Biomedical Microtechnology Lab, was appointed as Junior Research Fellow at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS). His research proposal “A novel mechanical model for safe electrical stimulation” targets a fundamental and innovative reliability model for implantable thin-film electrodes under electrochemical loads.
Silicon nanostructures in all dimensionalities are investigated by researchers working in both fundamental science (nanophysics, nanotechnology) and microelectronic engineering (future CMOS technologies, sensors, photovoltaics, etc.).
Researchers develop new method enabling DNA molecules to be counted in just 30 minutes: A team of scientists including PhD student Friedrich Schuler from the Laboratory of MEMS Applications at IMTEK has developed a method for dividing a DNA sample into thousands of tiny droplets.
In celebration of their 20th anniversary the Faculty of Engineering and its institutes of Computer Science and Microsystems Engineering are holding a “Long Night of Sciences”.
The Gisela and Erwin Sick Laboratory for Micro-optics together with the State Key Laboratory on Integrated Optoelectronics at Jilin University in China will hold a joint “Sino-German Workshop on Photonic Manufacturing, Manipulation and Measurement”.
Synthetic diamond is almost exclusively being used in industrial applications. So far, man-made diamonds could not be produced in quantities high enough to establish them as gemstones. Researchers have now developed the production process of synthetic diamond to such a mature stage, that it is possible to grow 600 diamonds at one time in a plasma reactor. This globally unique reactor type operated at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF in Freiburg facilitates the production of single crystalline diamond with an extremely high level of purity.
Seven members of Dr. Frank Hutter's Automated Algorithm Design group and Prof. Martin Riedmiller's Machine Learning group won 1st place in the first phase of the Automatic Machine Learning (AutoML) Challenge.
Seed capital from HTGF and a private investor
The Science Council has given the University of Freiburg’s proposal for a new research building for the “Freiburg Institute for Machine-Brain Interfacing Technology” (IMBIT) an outstanding evaluation and has recommended the project for funding. The State of Baden-Württemberg and the University of Freiburg have agreed to provide 36.77 million euros for the new research building together with the federal government as part of the program “Research Buildings at Universities.”
The Engineered Eyeball, developed by the Gisela and Erwin Sick Laboratory for Micro-optics, was featured in the popular science television show X:enius, seen Europe-wide on ARTE in April.
Its theoretical properties made graphene a »wonder material« overnight: it is up to 200 times harder than steel, six times lighter, strong but flexible, environmentally friendly and the world’s thinnest material. Measuring only a single atom layer, about a one hundred-thousandth the diameter of a human hair, it still retains a remarkable level of conductivity.
Climate change, resource scarcity, energy turnaround – these challenges of today’s society require sustainable solutions. Finding these solutions is the aim of the newly founded »Sustainability Performance Center«, consisting of the five Fraunhofer institutes of Freiburg, the University of Freiburg and industry partners.
University of Freiburg to coordinate new Performance Center for Bioinformatics
Fraunhofer IAF offers graduates of different subjects the opportunity to pursue a scientific career within the scope of a PhD project. Our PhD-students present themselves in a staff-interview: Thomas Gerrer reports on his work at Fraunhofer IAF.
His original and scientifically relevant project proposal entitled “Effects of neuroprosthetic intervention’ is one out of 20 selected ideas to be discussed and elaborated within a 1-week multidisciplinary workshop together with multiple experts in the field.
Power electronics of the future cannot be imagined without lll-V semiconductors: Smartphones, LEDs or lasers benefit from the special physical properties of these materials. Under very rare conditions, however, these materials can also cause toxic effects. The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF is therefore elaborating a data basis for the embracing risk assessment of lll-V semiconductors. Thus, potential risks can be avoided along the entire value chain.
The undergraduate students participate in a robot competition which is part of the "System Design Projekt"
For the winter term 2014/15 and the summer term 2015, the Master students Gazmend Alia, Yannick Folwill, Oksana Kutkina, Gabriel Kalweit und Jonas Weber have been granted a Christoph Rüchardt scholarship. On 30 January they received their scholarship certificates in presence of Prof. Dr. Christoph Rüchardt, former Rector of the University of Freiburg. The Christoph Rüchardt scholarships are granted every year for excellent performance.
