TUHH Press Release:
European Doctoral Network “Enabling Artificial Intelligence for Electromagnetic Compatibility” – DN PATTERN 💡
The Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) is proud to be part of a newly established Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network addressing a highly relevant topic: the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in medical devices.
Congratulations to Prof Christian Schuster (Institut für Theoretische Elektrotechnik) and Prof. Matthias Mnich (TUHH Institute for Algorithms and Complexity), who are leading the DN PATTERN project at TUHH. 👏 Coordinated by Eindhoven University of Technology, the MSCA Doctoral Network DN PATTERN brings together expertise from AI, EMC, medical technology, risk management, and sustainability management.
The network unites 9 universities from 7 countries and 11 industry partners to train 16 PhD students in AI-driven product development. TUHH will host 2 of these positions, focusing on machine learning and data-driven EMC prediction for the development of safe and sustainable medical devices.

Modeling for EMC: From Physics to AI – Keynote by Prof. Christian Schuster at APEMC 2025 (sponsored by the IEEE EMC Society)⚡

We are excited to announce that Prof. Christian Schuster will be a keynote speaker at APEMC 2025, taking place from May 19-23 in Taipei, Taiwan. His talk will address a fundamental question:

📌 How does AI-driven modeling transform the design, testing, and optimization of EMC, Signal Integrity, and Power Integrity?

In his keynote, Prof. Schuster will explore this topic in depth. At Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), we have collaborated with partners to compare traditional physics-based modeling with AI-driven, data-based approaches – and to examine their potential for EMC engineering. A special highlight will be the outlook on the European Doctoral Network DN PATTERN, which focuses on integrating Artificial Intelligence into EMC research. We look forward to insightful discussions at APEMC 2025 and to shaping the future of electromagnetic compatibility together. See you in Taipei! 🚀

We are excited to host two insightful Distinguished Lectures on May 15, 2025, co-organized by the IEEE EMC Society EMC German Chapter. These DL talks will cover both near-field and far-field testing, featuring leading specialists in artificial intelligence(AI), antenna measurement, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Date: Thursday, May 15, 2025
Time: 15:00 – 17:00 (3:00 – 5:00 p.m. UTC+2, Berlin Time)
Venue: Wissenschaftliches Kommunikationszentrum (Wikom, Room 0053/54, Building I), Denickestraße 22, 21073 Hamburg, Germany
