Welcome at the IME!
At the Institute for Electrical Engineering in Medicine (IME) we perform cutting-edge research on autonomous and physiological systems, state-of-the-art methods in parameter estimation and the ethical implications of engineering. Head over to the project pages to learn more:
Physiological Control Loops
Feedback control in the human body, also known as homeostasis, is one of the main reasons why we can cope with a variety of changing environmental conditions and pathologies. At the IME we study these control loops and their interaction with medical devices from an engineering point of view that mainly focusses on dynamic systems and control.
More details on our research activities can be found on the project page.
Parameter and State Estimation
Precisely estimating parameters and states of physiological systems is hard - the underlying systems are not well understood, and there is a large number of physiological processes influencing each measurement.
At the IME, we therefore focus on the application of advanced, robust methods for parameter and state estimation to physiological systems. For more information, refer to the project page.
Autonomous Systems
Autonomous systems play an increasingly important role in the field of robotics. Their technical potential is expanding rapidly and practical implementation is now possible. Autonomous vehicles, for instance, bear great potential for safety, comfort and the environment.
At the IME, we therefore focus on algorithms for autonomous systems that guarantee safe and reliable operation based on rigorous methods for relevant applications. For more information, refer to the project page.
Ethics of Innovative Technologies
At the IME we are fully aware that technological developments bear societal implications that need to be assessed and evaluated cooperatively and in an interdisciplinary context. Be it in a bio-medical context or in autonomous systems in general - we take ethical engineering seriously.
At the IME, we therefore engage in research on how to best develop autonomous systems with society and for society, reflect our methods and present them in a concise and understandable way to foster mutual and transdisciplinary communication. For more information, refer to the project page.

"Шановні науковці України! На сьогоднішній дінь в Німеччині численні організації пропонують стипендіальні програми для вчених з України, які виїхали туди під час війни. Ці гранти дають вам можливість продовжити свої наукові дослідження. Зазвичай вони присуджуються спочатку на 12 місяців і мають бути подані через німецьку дослідницьку установу. Якщо ви працюєте в одній із наших наукових галузей (електротехніка, медичні технології, автономні системи або технічна етика), ми будемо раді підтримати вас у вашій заявці та прийняти вас в IME на період стипендії. Якщо ви зацікавлені, зверніться безпосередньо до одного із співробітників.
Особливо наші українські колеги із задоволенням дадуть відповіді на ваші запитання: Євген Жавжаров (ievgen.zhavzharov(at)uni-luebeck.de) та Людмила Мосхаген (ludmila.moshagen@uni-luebeck.de)."
