Video series "Dr Who? - Doing a doctorate at the HTWK Leipzig"
Doctoral students report on their research projects.
"My research supports people after a stroke"
PhD student Benjamin Kalloch in the portrait of "Dr Who? - Doing a PhD at HTWK Leipzig"
A stroke is a major disruption for those affected and their families. Frequent consequences include paralysis of the arms or legs. This makes it all the more important to learn to move again afterwards with suitable rehabilitation therapies. Learning processes can be accelerated with electrical brain stimulation. In order to optimise this, Benjamin Kalloch carried out simulations on the computer. He completed his doctorate at the HTWK Leipzig in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. To the news about Benjamin Kalloch.
Recognising pain in the face with a camera
Doctoral student Bianca Reichard in the portrait of "Dr Who? - Doing a doctorate at HTWK Leipzig"
Some people cannot tell if and where they are in pain, for example small children or people who are in a coma. Bianca Reichard, who studied electrical engineering and information technology at HTWK Leipzig, is developing software for her doctorate that uses a camera to recognise and classify pain in patients' faces. To the news about Bianca Reichard.
"We are developing an exoskeleton for climbing stairs"
Max Böhme and Felix Weiske in the portrait of "Dr Who? Doing a doctorate at HTWK Leipzig"
Many people have problems climbing stairs as they get older. Max Böhme (26) and Felix Weiske (28) want to help them with their research. Together, they are developing an exoskeleton that uses machine power and artificial intelligence to help people climb stairs. The two explain how it works in the video. To the news about Max Böhme and Felix Weiske.
"I do research to make solar cells better"
Florian Wallburg in the portrait of "Dr Who? Doing a doctorate at HTWK Leipzig"
Florian Wallburg studied mechanical engineering at HTWK Leipzig. For his doctoral thesis, he investigated what happens in the material silicon during the production of solar cells. His research is helping to make solar modules even more reliable. The doctorate is a collaboration between HTWK Leipzig, the Fraunhofer Centre for Silicon Photovoltaics Halle and TU Freiberg. To the news about Florian Wallburg.
Dr Who? mechanical engineer Christoph Oefner
Doctoral student Christoph Oefner in the portrait of "Dr Who? - Doctorates at HTWK Leipzig"
The mechanical engineer Christoph Oefner is working on a medical topic for his doctorate: pedicle screws, which are inserted into the spine to provide stability after spinal disorders. To the news about Christoph Oefner.
Dr Who? doctoral student Martin Weisbrich
First edition of the video series "Dr Who? - Doing a PhD at HTWK Leipzig"
Martin Weisbrich studied civil engineering at HTWK Leipzig. He then completed his doctorate at the Institute of Concrete Structures on the measurability of deformations in buildings. To the news about Martin Weisbrich.
