Qualitätsgesteuerte Fusion heterogener Scan- und BIM-Modelle
2025-11-01 – 2027-10-31
Topics & Projects
From its own satellite missions to research into hyperloop technology - the Department of Aerospace and Geodesy is involved in numerous projects across various disciplines. The core expertise lies in the professorships, which conduct research at the highest international level in all areas of aerospace and geodesy. The research leads to the direct application of the findings and the integration of various technologies in the overall system. Practical modules in the degree programmes and the promotion of entrepreneurial spirit support student ideas and innovations in the academic environment. In this way, committed students manage their own initiatives and make a name for themselves in national and international competitions.
