Prof. Dr. Andreas Hennig

Prof. Dr-Ing. Andreas Hennig completed his Master of Science in Electrical Engineering at the University of Wuppertal. During his subsequent doctorate at the University of Duisburg-Essen, he focused on methods of wireless energy and data transmission for medical sensor implants. From 2006 to 2022, he worked at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems (IMS) in Duisburg, holding various positions and most recently serving as Group Leader for “Wireless Sensor Technology” and Programme Manager for “Sustainable Production” in the field of intelligent sensor systems. In 2022, he was appointed Professor of Medical Sensor Systems at Hochschule Ruhr West.

I regularly supervise final theses related to my current research projects. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested!

Examples of topic areas:

• Vital Parameter Monitoring for Premature Infants
• Quantum Sensing for Biomagnetism
• In-Situ Measurement Technology for Sustainable Industrial Processes
• Intelligent Sensor Systems for Structural Health Monitoring

My research projects fall within the HRW research focus on “contactless or minimally invasive methods.” The research explores the use of inductive techniques, quantum magnetometry, and sensor-based machine learning methods for the non-invasive acquisition of condition data and vital parameters. Application areas include medical technology, Industry 4.0, and smart cities.

My research laboratory, LASIMM, serves as a hub for our working group where innovative ideas are developed and translated into practical applications through research projects. Additionally, the laboratory is a vibrant learning environment for engaging final theses.

The lab is well-equipped in the following areas:

• Printed Circuit Board Prototyping (Reflow Soldering, Rework Soldering, SMD Pick and Place System)
• 3D Printing
• Measurement Technology (Impedance Analyser, Network Analyser, Lock-In Amplifier)

Our research group has extensive practical experience with the following software tools:

• 3D FEM Simulation (COMSOL Multiphysics)
• Circuit Design and PCB Layout (KiCAD, LTSpice)
• Embedded Software Development (STM32)
• AI and Machine Learning (Python)
