Peter Oppermann, a research assistant at Technical University Hamburg, had the honor of representing our institute at the recent celebrations for the Unity of Germany in Hamburg on the 2nd and 3rd of October. He shared his research about acoustic communication and power transfer in metals, which enables new structural health monitoring applications in environments shielded by metal, such as pipelines, containers, pressurized tanks, and ship hulls. The TUHH, represented by the Institutes for Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems and the Institute for Mechatronics in Mechanics, was proud to be a part of a joint booth featuring Hamburg's universities and higher education schools. The booth was organized by the Hamburg Authority for Science, Research, Equal Treatment, and Districts (BWFGB). The event was a resounding success, providing visitors with an excellent opportunity to witness the innovative research conducted at TUHH and in Hamburg in general.

Our conference paper “'Practical Evaluation of Differential Frequency Shift Chirp Modulation for Acoustic Underwater Communication” and our joint conference paper “'Affordable underwater acoustic modems and their application in everyday life: a complete overview'” has been accepted for the 17th International Conference on Underwater Networks & Systems (WUWNet’23). Congratulation to the authors Filippo Campagnaro (University of Padova) and Fabian Steinmetz. Conference Link: https://wuwnet.acm.org/2023/

Our poster 'Towards Autonomous Utility-Aware Energy Management for Energy Harvesting Devices' has been accepted for the conference / workshop  '21st ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2023)'. Congratulation to the head of the institute Prof. Renner.

We are proud and delighted for having been invited to participate in the amazing campaign "Ask Me Anything: Application edition" by TUHH. Wanna see what this is? Have a look.

We are pleased to announce that Prof. Jacob Sorber, Professor at Clemson University, USA, will be giving a talk on his research on intermittent computing. Title: Learning to Compute without Reliable Power Date and location: Monday, 26.06.23 at 11:30 am in room HS28 - 0.08 You are warmly invited! Abstract The Internet of Things is just hype until we learn to compute without batteries and reliable power. We are simply not going to recharge, replace, and dispose of trillions of batteries. Battery-less sensing devices offer a more sustainable option (smaller, cheaper, more environmentally friendly) that can be deployed for decades (batteries typically wear out after 2–5 years), but they store less energy and lose power more often. Even with energy harvesting advances, today's batteryless devices are difficult to program, test, and deploy, due to unpredictable energy supplies, limited energy storage, and frequent power failures. Biography Jacob Sorber is a Dean's Professor of Computer Science at Clemson University. His work makes mobile sensors and embedded systems more efficient, robust, deployable, and secure, by exploring novel systems (both hardware and software) and languages. His research has received support by the National Science Foundation (including a CAREER Award), the US Geological Survey, General Electric, and other sources. He works on problems in health, biology, agriculture, and manufacturing. Before joining Clemson, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Dartmouth College and a graduate student at UMass Amherst.
