Vietnamese Researchers Visit the ALSVV Department

How does light influence plant growth? This question is at the center of an international collaboration at the ALSVV research group in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at TU Darmstadt. Together with researchers from Vietnam, the team led by Professor Tran Quoc Khanh is investigating innovative LED technologies aimed at enabling sustainable plant production.

Interview with Professor Tran Quoc Khanh on the Upcoming International Symposium on Automotive Lighting

Early next week, the 16th International Symposium on Automotive Lighting (ISAL) will kick off in Darmstadt, featuring 48 exhibitors and around 700 experts from research, industry, and regulatory bodies. They will come together for an intensive exchange on the latest findings in research and development.

Since July 1, Yvonne Späck-Leigsnering has been a cooperation professor for “Computational Electromagnetic Compatibility” at the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering. The scientist, who earned her doctorate from TU Darmstadt in 2019, has been leading the independent junior research group “Quasistatics in Computational Engineering (QuinCE)” at the TU's “Electromagnetic Field Theory (EMFT)” department since 2022. Additionally, she has been heading the simulation team in the ME/EMC division of Robert Bosch GmbH since 2023.

Universities co-operate within the framework of the IJRL Solid State Lighting Technology

As part of the International Joint Research Lab (IJRL) ‘Solid State Lighting Technology – Components to Systems’, leading European universities are working closely together to improve the reliability and service life of semiconductor-based lighting and irradiation systems.

etit experts on power outages

A power blackout hit the Iberian Peninsula on Monday afternoon. Public life in Spain and Portugal largely came to a standstill. The power supply is currently being restored and the cause is being investigated.

TU Darmstadt and MIT develop methods for monitoring with machine learning

The safe use of lithium-ion batteries, such as those used in electric vehicles and stationary energy storage systems, critically depends on condition monitoring and early fault detection. Failures in individual battery cells can lead to serious issues, including fires. To mitigate these risks, researchers at TU Darmstadt and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed novel methods for battery analysis and monitoring that leverage physically constrained machine learning approaches.

Joint project “EnEff:Wärme – MeFlexWärme”

The joint research project “EnEff:Wärme – MeFlexWärme”, led by etit Professor Florian Steinke, was completed in December 2023 after a four-year project period. The project deals with the topic of how future district heating networks can be optimally operated in the context of the energy transition.

etit at the opening of the ryon transition centre in Gernsheim

Innovation starts now – under this motto, the ryon GreenTech Accelerator Transition Center was opened in Gernsheim on 23 February 2024. A state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure for innovation and research projects has been created in the Transition Centre. Research groups led by etit professors Tran Quoc Khanh and Heinz Koeppl were invited to present their innovative projects.

Software solution for intelligent energy saving

The AI-supported software solution from the start-up I3DEnergy enables optimised energy management that identifies weak points and reveals potential savings. In addition to the managing director and physicist Christopher Ripp, the founding members are two students of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology and one student of Energy Science Engineering.

etit scientist Yvonne Späck-Leigsnering receives prestigious award

On 13 December 2023, Dr. Yvonne Späck-Leigsnering, Athene Young Investigator at TU Darmstadt, will be honoured as a Young Scientist of the Werner von Siemens Ring Foundation. She receives the award, which is endowed with 10,000 euros, for her contribution to the development of a future energy distribution system for renewable energies. The award ceremony will take place in the Electoral Palace in Mainz.
