ARGUS Award Recognitions for LITES Students
On Wednesday, November 5, 2025, the HENSOLDT Professor's Day took place, during which this year's ARGUS Awards for outstanding bachelor’s and master’s theses were presented. The LITES department was proudly represented at this event with a total of fiv...
Colorful Activity
As with every other year, the Long Night of Science at FAU was buzzing with colorful activity. We were thrilled to give an enthusiastic audience of all ages a behind-the-scenes look at the research and teaching happening at our department, alongside various other contributors f...
Renewable energies are the key to achieving a climate-neutral future in Germany, with photovoltaics playing a central role. However, the weather-dependent and thus fluctuating nature of solar power generation poses new challenges for the electricity grid. Accurate forecasts are essential to anticip...
On September 11, 2025, Samira Faghih-Naini successfully completed her doctoral examination with her dissertation on “Design and Characterization of a Joint Communication and Sensing System in the Millimeter-Wave Range Based on the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Method.” She was a research associat...
We will build an end-to-end RFIC design flow (schematic → layout → EM → co-simulation) both with open-source tools and in commercial environments, and correlate the results.The work includes IC design (schematic, layout, verification) in Cadence/ADS and Ansys HFSS/CST, as well as with open-source tools (Qucs-S/Ngspice/Xyce, KLayout/gdsfactory, openEMS, scikit-rf).

At this year's European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC) 2025, Vanessa Schöpplein (Wirth), along with her co-authors Sascha Breun, Jens Löffler, Manuel Koch, Michael Loose, Marco Dietz, Christian Carlowitz, Robert Weigel, and Norman Franchi, received a remarkable accolade. Their con...
Description
As part of a campus Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS) system, machine learning methods for person detection and classification based on radar data are to be developed. Students will research and select suitable datasets (e.g., point clouds or range–Doppler data) and prepare them...
Description:
This thesis explores the application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) as surrogate models for simulating and designing high-Q piezoelectric acoustic wave resonators and filters. Traditional modeling techniques such as finite element methods or analytical approaches can be comput...
