On 25.04.2025, Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Krondorf organised his first graduation colloquium at the Faculty of Engineering.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Marco Krondorf hosted the first graduation colloquium at the Faculty of Engineering on 25 April 2025. The new series of events is intended to make scientific results accessible to the university audience and a wider public.
Robert Wünsche, family members, students specialising in ESS, interested employees and professors from the Faculty of Engineering were invited to the first graduation colloquium
Dr Robert Wünsche began by presenting excerpts from his doctoral thesis "Phase-controlled antennas in LEO satellite communication" . The thesis was supervised by Prof Krondorf and deals with the analysis of phased array antennas for LEO satellite communication. LEO stands for "Low Earth Orbit" and refers to new satellite systems in low earth orbit at an altitude of approx. 500 to 1000 km. The best-known LEO satellite system at present is probably Starlink from Elon Musk.
Dr Wünsches contributions show the gain in data rate when these new types of antennas are installed directly in the satellite. The work also makes important contributions to real-time signal processing directly in the satellite.
Prof. Krondorf himself also habilitated in the field of LEO satellite systems in 2024 and presented excerpts from his habilitation thesis "Results on stochastic modelling of LEO satellite systems".
The event ended with a get-together.
"The presentation of the latest scientific findings is an absolute highlight in academic life. I hope that this visibility will help more graduates to find their way into science after graduation and that we will also support the university's efforts to obtain the right to award doctorates," emphasises Prof. Krondorf.
With the new series of events, Prof. Krondorf would like to honour all doctoral projects.
