Investigation into the impact of green roofs on passenger shelters in Leipzig on the microclimate and biodiversity, and the development of greening strategies in a real-world laboratory – Leipzig Passenger Shelters Real-World Laboratory
The project investigates the impact of green roofs on passenger shelters used by Leipzig’s public transport system on biodiversity and, based on this, develops site-specific greening strategies. Through the active participation of school pupils and apprentices from various types of schools, environmental and biodiversity data will first be collected in two phases, followed by the development of practical solutions in a real-world laboratory, thereby promoting transformative education for sustainable development.
Funding: Funded by the German Federal Environmental Foundation as part of the funding initiative: ‘Transformative Education for Sustainable Development – Shaping Change’
Project duration: 03/2025 – 02/2028
Smart Energy Technology Laboratory
Promoting independent learning and digital skills in the foundational and measurement engineering training of future engineers through the smart energy technology laboratory and direct feedback via learning platforms
The research focuses on the link between theoretical training and practical application through the development of a smart energy technology laboratory, with the aim of providing students with effective access to digital experiments in the field of energy technology.
Funding: SMWK | Saxony Education Portal – Saxony University Didactics (HDS) and the E-Learning Working Group of the Saxony Regional Council of Universities (AK E-Learning)
Project duration: 04/2024 – 12/2024
FAssMII(c)
Sub-project: Automated delivery and assessment of online engineering practicals in measurement technology/industrial measurement technology
Overall project: FAssMII | Feedback-based e-assessment in mathematics, computer science and engineering
Sub-project c: Laboratory practicals are essential to the learning process for engineering students, particularly due to the application-oriented, practical knowledge transfer that takes place there. The aim of the project is to implement needs-based and location-flexible laboratory practicals in digital form. The approach involves providing remote access to laboratory equipment to generate the necessary data, and utilising the digital learning platform ‘OPAL’ to create an electronic training and examination environment.

Project duration: 08/2021 – 07/2024
Measurement uncertainties in on-site analysis
As part of this research project, the aim is to use soft-computing methods to model and quantitatively assess the environmental influences currently affecting measurement uncertainty, particularly in existing on-site analytical methods. In addition, an outcome-driven recommendation for action regarding environmental and pollutant monitoring will be developed.
Funding: ESF PhD scholarship
Project duration: 01/2020 – 12/2022
Video
YouTube (external link): Video ‘Abgetaucht’ – A PhD for the environment
To conserve water resources, it is necessary to analyse water bodies and bathing lakes for pollutants. In her video, Stefanie Penzel presents a concept for a measurement system designed to analyse and detect water contaminated with pollutants.
Stefanie Penzel is undertaking her PhD at HTWK Leipzig in collaboration with the Leipzig Centre for Environmental Research and Chemnitz University of Technology on the topic ‘Quantification of measurement uncertainties in on-site analysis for optimised environmental monitoring’. She is supported by an ESF PhD scholarship.
