The long-standing collaboration between the Technical University of Darmstadt and Tongji University in Shanghai, which began in 1980 with a cooperation agreement, spans various departments at TU Darmstadt. This partnership encompasses all stages of the academic career, from students to young researchers and professors (More).

This year’s visit was held on the occasion of the 8th Tongji Workshop, which focused on the academic exchange of the latest publications. Many new ideas were exchanged, and we were very pleased to participate. Assis. Prof. Dr. Xingchen Ma came with several students, and we provided them with a comprehensive lab tour. The tour covered all areas of our labs, from ultrasound to robotics, with a special focus on smart materials and our ferroelectrets for measuring biosignals in humans.

The ongoing partnership between Technische Universität Darmstadt and Tongji University in Shanghai proves to be highly successful across various fields and reveals interesting intersections between our current research projects. The expertise in combining materials science with engineering in the field of measurement and sensor technology is ideal for developing new sensors for human measurements.

We thank you once again for organizing the workshop and look forward to future visits, both here at TU Darmstadt and at Tongji University in Shanghai.
