Amidst the Audimax in Duisburg, engineers receive applause
In a ceremony held in collaboration with the Moers-based association, Sparkasse am Niederrhein has honored Dr. Max Frei for his groundbreaking dissertation on AI-assisted particle image analysis. This marks the 28th year that the credit institution has been recognizing progressive and application-oriented research from the University of Duisburg.
Dr. Frei's dissertation, titled "Deep learning for imaging particle analysis applications," presents an innovative approach that leverages deep learning techniques to automatically analyze particle images. By automating the analysis process, this method improves upon traditional manual or classical image processing techniques.
The method developed by Dr. Frei integrates deep learning techniques to process imaging data for particle characterization, enabling the automated extraction of meaningful information from images in a robust and scalable way. This innovation addresses challenges in particle image analysis by using neural networks trained on relevant image data, allowing for higher accuracy and speed.
The work has impressed expert juries and is considered an advancement in particle image analysis, with a particular emphasis on the use of AI (deep learning) as the core technology in the method.
In addition to Dr. Frei's recognition, Jannik Korte's master's thesis was also honored. Korte's thesis focuses on improving the power management of UVC-LEDs used for disinfection. Both theses are highly valuable for both science and industry.
Professor Alexander Malkwitz, head of the Faculty of Engineering Sciences, congratulated both Dr. Frei and Korte on their achievements. Dr. Rüdiger Buß, also a faculty member, echoed the congratulations.
Sparkasse am Niederrhein sees itself as the scientific showcase of the University of Duisburg for the left Niederrhein region. By partnering with the Moers-based association for the promotion of engineering sciences, it acts as a platform for showcasing the university's faculty's progressive and application-oriented dissertations and master's theses.
This year's honorees join a long line of researchers who have been recognized for their contributions to science and industry. The University of Duisburg's faculty has been receiving recognition from Sparkasse am Niederrhein for its progressive and application-oriented dissertations and master's theses for 28 years.
Dr. Max Frei's dissertation, highlighting the application of deep learning in AI-assisted particle image analysis, showcases the Lower Rhine region's advancements in science and technology, specifically in education-and-self-development at the University of Duisburg. Jannik Korte's master's thesis, focused on improving UVC-LED power management for disinfection, also contributed significantly to both scientific knowledge and technology industry.
