About us

Our interdisciplinary team is made up of specialists from the fields of systems engineering, electrical engineering, computer sciences, mathematics and physics.

We carry out research and collaborate with industrial partners as well as maintaining constant dialogue with both Swiss and international universities. We also teach as part of training programmes and continuing education courses at the FHNW School of Engineering.
