PKat4Chem
Plasma-catalytic single-stage synthesis of C1–C4 hydrocarbons from CO₂ using enamel as an innovative electrode material in combination with a selective catalyst
The PKat4Chem project utilises non-thermal plasma catalysis (NTPK) to convert CO₂ and CH₄ at ambient temperature using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD plasma).
Funding: 7th Energy Research Programme; Area 3.15 Technologies for the CO₂ Circular Economy (BMWK)

RoadIT 1.0
Development of a sensor-based and AI-supported traffic detector for the real-time analysis of road surface stress
A measurement system based on acceleration and temperature sensors, integrated into the road pavement, is to be used to determine current and historical stress data. The vibrations generated by vehicles passing over the road are to be translated into vehicle information using artificial intelligence techniques.

senod+
Development of sensor nodes for a cascade monitoring system for use in geozones prone to deformation
♢ Project: Institute of Geotechnical
Engineering The aim of this project was to develop an innovative monitoring system for geotechnical volume structures, such as embankments and dams, in geozones particularly prone to deformation. The system is currently undergoing a final testing phase in the embankment area of the former Mücheln opencast mine (now Geiseltalsee). With the aid of several sensor nodes, sudden movements and tilting within the soil structure can be recorded and analysed in real time.
Funding: BMWi INNO-KOM module “Market-oriented research and development” Project
duration: 2018–2021
