Professor Renner gave a keynote talk at Oceanext 2024 Nantes on Below the Surface: A Journey in Underwater Acoustics. More information here.

Yuehan Jiang from our group has been awarded the 2nd prize for her pitch talk on Passive Underwater Localization at Oceanext 2024 in Nantes. Congratulations!

Last Monday marked a significant milestone for the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). With the inauguration of the UNU Hub "Engineering to Face Climate Change," the university became the first European institution to join the United Nations University. This event, attended by international and local partners, was a vibrant showcase of TUHH's cutting-edge research on climate change. Our Institute proudly presented live demonstrations of two innovative projects to the UN delegation and the public. The first, Backscatter Communication and Power Transfer through Metal Structures for Structural Health Monitoring, aims to improve the integrity and safety of vital infrastructures through continuous monitoring. The second project, MOLA: Modular Ocean Lander Architecture for Ocean Research, demonstrates our commitment to pioneering solutions for oceanographic exploration and environmental monitoring. We enjoyed the lively exchanges and the inspiring atmosphere during the event, which reflected the immense potential for impactful collaborations.

Christian Renner was invited member in the PhD defense committee of Weizheng Wang at TU Delft. This was an amazing event! Thanks to Koen Langendoen and Marco Zuniga for the invitation and the opportunity for giving an invited talk on Acoustic Communication in Various Environments.

On April 3rd, 2024, Mr. Peter Oppermann successfully defended his doctorate at the Institute for Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems. The title of his doctoral thesis is: Acoustic Backscatter Communication in Metal Structures. We would like to thank Peter Opermann for his successful work at the TUHH and we congratulate for his great achievement.
