Catalan-German Doctoral presentations

On September 12^th about 20 researchers from the University of Freiburg, Germany, will visit us invited by Manel Gasulla, Head of the e-CAT research group from the EETAC, UPC. German researchers are leaded by Prof. Leonhard Reindl, Head of the Laboratory for Electrical Instrumentation, and Prof. Christian Schindelhauer, Head of the Chair of Computer Networks and Telematics. On the other hand, several research groups from the EETAC (e-CAT, ISI, CSC, and WNG) and the SARTI group from the Vilanova Campus will also participate. During the day, both German and Catalan PhD students will present the current progress of their thesis. Topics are on indoor localization, wireless energy transmission, design of sensor nodes for the IoT, energy harvesting for marine applications, Bluetooth mesh networks and IPv6 over LPWAN, SAW devices, or bioradar, among others. The aim is to generate an exchange of ideas and stablish a fruitful cooperation between both institutions. The sessions are open to the research community, and in particular to Master and Bachelor students interested in pursuing PhD studies.

Presentations will be at room C4-022B from 9:00 to 18:30. As the number of seats is limited, if you are interested in coming, please contact in advance to Manel Gasulla at manel.gasulla@upc.edu
