Research areas

Raw Materials and Circular Economy – Recycling Logistics Processes

Within the scope of this focus area, the planning, development, and optimization of recycling logistics processes are carried out using modern methods and software applications 

Digitalization in Logistics

The focus area aims at designing, developing, and optimizing logistics systems through the use of digitalization solutions. This area includes the simulation modeling of logistics processes, the application of artificial intelligence in the field of logistics, the design of product tracking systems, as well as the application of software solutions to support the setup and operation of material handling equipment.

Environmentally conscious mechanical design and manufacturing

A key challenge today is environmental protection and sustainability. With finite resources, it’s crucial to design materials and processes for reuse and minimal environmental impact. The focus is on eco-conscious design and the principles of the circular economy to promote responsible resource use.

Industrial Artificial Intelligence Applications

AI is revolutionizing automation and decision-making in industry. While digitalization has advanced, further development is needed to leverage AI, machine learning, and big data fully. Education should ensure that students learn and use cutting-edge AI technologies and participate in innovations.

Autonomous and Embedded Systems

The world is built on embedded systems, combining special-purpose hardware and software. Industrial processes rely on them for control and increasing autonomy in solutions like self-driving vehicles, drones and robots. This field is crucial for digitalization and impacts all university focus areas.

Energy technology development (materials, technologies, equipment, safety)

The focus is on advancing systems for energy transformation, distribution, storage, and use. Key priorities include improving equipment performance, reducing environmental impacts, and increasing sustainable energy production by integrating renewable sources. Research spans materials science, electrical, control, and energy engineering.

Mechanical engineering focus in the chemical industry

We specialize in chemical engineering, focusing on process modeling, strength design for pressure systems, numerical flow simulations, CFD analyses, and standardized strength calculations. Our safety technology work includes system safety analysis, safety valve testing, explosion protection design, and risk assessment.
