📢 Introducing DT-CORE: Shaping the Future of Digital Twins We're thrilled to announce the launch of the new Digital Twin Center for Open Research and Engineering (DT-CORE) project – a groundbreaking initiative supported by a 15 M DKK grant from the Poul Due Jensen Foundation (Grundfos Foundation | PDJF). With Professor Peter Gorm Larsen leading the charge as Principal Investigator, alongside co-PIs Cláudio Gomes and Lukas Esterle, this 5-year project is set to push the boundaries of digital twin technology. Building on the success of the DiT4CPS project (https://lnkd.in/dm78qyBD) and guided by the foundational concepts in the book "Engineering of Digital Twins," DT-CORE aims to make Aarhus University the go-to hub for cutting-edge digital twin research. The project will focus on four key areas: 1️⃣ Foundations: Ensuring reliable and secure predictions. 2️⃣ Platform: Making digital twins more accessible and sustainable. 3️⃣ Autonomy: Exploring DTs as a pathway to dependable autonomy. 4️⃣ Hierarchy: Tackling the challenges of complex DT compositions. 💡 Collaborative Opportunities: Funding is available to support visiting researchers interested in open research in digital twins.

Snap(s)shots 🥁from the ECE Christmas Party 🎄✨ Last Friday, we wrapped up the year with holiday cheer at our annual Christmas party! The party took place in our student bar, #KatrinesKælder, with dinner and songs 🎶🎸and the awesome bar crew ensured everyone was “hydrated” throughout the evening. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined the celebration and especially to the amazing organizers 🙌. Most of us are now heading off for a well-deserved break. The department will be back in action on January 3rd. Wishing all our colleagues, students and friends a joyous holiday season! See you in 2024! 🎆🎅 #AUECE #GreatColleagues #HappyHolidays

A new national centre now brings together the leading players in the field and gives industry, in particular small and medium sized enterprises, direct access to the latest knowledge, network, design and production facilities. The Danish Chips Competence Centre consists of five partners, each with their own strengths. ECE will be responsible for the chip design activities, led by Professor Farshad Moradi. “The semiconductor industry is experiencing rapid growth, and the demand for better and more intelligent chips is constantly increasing. This growth also leads to a critical dependence on national capabilities for chip design and development. With the new center, we can gather and strengthen the entire Danish chip ecosystem and enhance collaboration between industry and academia. This provides companies with a significant technological boost and increases their competitiveness. Moreover, it offers companies excellent opportunities to identify new business and market opportunities," says Farshad Moradi, head of the Electronics and Photonics section at ECE. Mikael Bergholz Knudsen, Head of Department at ECE, sees great potential in the new centre and ECE's role, which can help place the department and AU on the global map within chip design. “Danish research plays a central role in supporting the Danish chip industry. At ECE, we have a well-established and strong group of researchers within chip design, and the research team is among the best in Europe. We know that Danish companies lack qualified graduates with chip design competences, and as a partner in the centre, we can highlight career opportunities within chip design to our engineering students and thus help companies in their recruitment of new employees,” says Mikael Bergholz Knudsen. The centre is funded by the EU and the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science with a budget of DKK 57 million over the next four years and, together with similar centres in other European countries, will support the EU's ambition to double the production of chips within Europe by 2030🌍 In addition to ECE, Aarhus Universitet, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, DTU - Technical University of Denmark, DFM - Danmarks Nationale Metrologiinstitut and DI - Dansk Industri are partners in the centre. #Chipdesign #semiconductors #ChipEcosystem #Chiptechnology Uddannelses- og Forskningsstyrelsen, Andy Drysdale, Jesper Askov Bonde Petersen.

What a stellar evening! 🚀✨ We’re still floating on space dust after Monday night’s incredible event featuring #ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen, who shared inspiring stories from his stay at the #ISS during the #HuginnMission 🌌🐦⬛ From dreams of space exploration to the realities of zero gravity, it was an unforgettable journey through his eyes. Andreas brought equipment for monitoring his sleep – a technology based on ear-EEG developed by Preben Kidmose and his research team. Preben, Simon L. Kappel and kaare mikkelsen presented the "Sleep in Orbit" project, which investigates how astronauts sleep in space🛏️ The attendees – almost 300 showed up – even got up close with the cutting-edge equipment that made this groundbreaking research possible. A highlight of the evening? Andreas returned the datalogger used in orbit – a proud moment for the team and our department! 🙌 Thanks to everyone who joined us, from curious students to industry experts. Together, we explored groundbreaking science, innovative tech and the human side of space exploration💡🌍 #AUECE Faculty of Technical Sciences - Aarhus University Aarhus University #SpaceExploration #SleepMonitoring #SleepInOrbit #SleepinSpace #EarEEG #ScienceInnovation #EngineeringExcellence 📸: Liv Lindhardt Rohde Larsen, AU Photo
