The research focus "Electronics & Data Analytics" at MCI combines innovative approaches in electronics design and data-driven analytics. From the development of diverse hardware solutions to the appropriate measurement chain and data analysis, this research focus aims to promote technological innovations that will have a sustainable impact on our world today.
Within Hardware Development we specialize in the design and prototyping of electronic circuits. We focus on designing custom circuits to meet the needs of a wide range of applications. In addition, we implement the developed circuits into physical prototypes and rigorously test them to ensure that they function flawlessly in the real world.
In the area of data acquisition, the focus lies on the accurate collection of data through the selection of appropriate sensors for different applications. This process considers the entire chain from sensor selection to the data acquisition, transmission, and storage. Selecting the right sensors for a given application is crucial to obtaining reliable and accurate data. The goal is to collect high-quality measurement data that can be used as the basis for data-driven analysis.
Data evaluation forms the third pillar in the "Electronics & Data Analytics" research focus. In pre-processing, raw data is cleaned, clarified, and structured for further processing. This ensures that the subsequent analysis is based on high quality data. This is followed by data mining, where the use of the most advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms are used to extract deeper insights from the data. Identifying patterns, trends, and anomalies, not only provides information, but also significantly improves processes and decision making. Interactive dashboards, graphs, and other visual tools are used to present results in an intuitive way. This visual presentation is crucial for communicating results and supporting the strategic use of data analysis in practice.
