Qualitätsgesteuerte Fusion heterogener Scan- und BIM-Modelle
2025-11-01 – 2027-10-31
Themen & Projekte
Von eigenen Satellitenmissionen bis hin zur Erforschung der Hyperloop-Technologie – am Department Aerospace and Geodesy werden zahlreiche Projekte über unterschiedliche Fachdisziplinen hinweg verfolgt. Die Kernkompetenz liegt dabei in den Professuren, die in allen Teilgebieten der Luft- und Raumfahrt sowie der Geodäsie auf höchstem internationalem Niveau forschen. Die Forschung führt zur direkten Anwendung der Erkenntnisse und zur Integration verschiedener Technologien im Gesamtsystem. Praxisnahe Module in den Studiengängen und die Förderung von Unternehmergeist unterstützen studentische Ideen und Innovationen im akademischen Umfeld. Engagierte Studierende stemmen so ihre eigenen Initiativen und machen sich in nationalen und internationalen Wettbewerben einen Namen.
