Professor Hans-Georg Herzog (Energy Conversion Technology)

Lecture Title: Are You Still Parking or Are You Already Charging? Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles

Professor Herzog conducts research in the field of energy-efficient, electromechanical drives. His main areas of work include the design and optimization of hybrid-electric and battery-electric powertrains, automated design methods for electromechanical actuators, energy and power management, and loss mechanisms in soft magnetic materials.

Professor Antonia Wachter-Zeh (Coding and Cryptography)

Lecture Title: How to Whisper a Secret in Public – Cryptography Between Everyday Life and Quantum Computers

Professor Wachter-Zeh's research interests lie in the fields of coding theory, post-quantum cryptography and information theory, as well as their applications in storage, communication, data protection, security and machine learning.

Professor Berna Özkale Edelmann (Nano- and Microrobotics)

Lecture Title: Strength Training for Your Cells

Professor Özkale Edelmann's research focuses on the development of nanorobotic tools to decipher signaling processes between mammalian cells and their microenvironment. In particular, her research utilizes nanotechnology, smart biomaterials, microfluidics and single-cell manipulation technology to develop multifunctional microdevices for regenerative medicine.

Professor Markus Becherer (Chip-Based Magnetic Sensor Technology)

Lecture Title: From Research to Application: Spin Waves for Next-Generation High-Frequency Components?

Professor Becherer conducts research on magnetic components for spin-based signal processing and sensor technology. A key focus is on ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials, their nanoscale structuring, and their electrical and optical characterization. The methods developed enable the targeted adjustment of material properties and open up potential application areas in the field of digital, analog and neuromorphic signal processing.
