Three seventh-grade students from Dresden’s Manos Gymnasium spent a week at the Barkhausen Institut (BI) exploring fine dust sensor technology. They built and programmed sensors, conducted field measurements, and experienced how real research unfolds.
More than 70 young people learned about current research in lectures and workshops at the Barkhausen Institut - from data protection in the escape room to controlling robots with their own bodies.
The BI has given the outside areas of its laboratories and workshops in the Annenhöfe a makeover. A new custom window film balances openness and privacy, supporting the focused development of trustworthy technologies while making research more visible to the public.
Every year, BI researchers take part in numerous conferences to present and discuss their work. These events offer excellent opportunities for feedback, networking, and open knowledge exchange.
The Barkhausen Institut is expanding its focus on digital security with the new research group “Secure Digital Systems.” Led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Elif Bilge Kavun, the group develops resilient and trustworthy technologies, from secure hardware to AI system protection.
The MikroRZ project investigates how microkernel-based systems can be scaled to provide secure and efficient data storage in modern data centers. By extending L4Re, the Barkhausen Institut contributes to a trustworthy software foundation for future European infrastructure.
BI researcher Dipl.-Inf. Till Miemietz will speak at the 19th USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation (OSDI) about how the Barkhausen Institute is improving data center security by implementing a container runtime on the L4Re microkernel.
At the 6G Conference in Berlin, scientists from various research groups at the Barkhausen Institut present a wide range of demonstrators, talks, and workshops.
Ranging from the trustworthiness of a networked pacemaker to big data explained in an understandable way - the Barkhausen Institut engaged 1,100 visitors at the COSMO Science Forum during the Dresden Science Night 2025 with hands-on stations and a lecture on digitalization and AI at TU Dresden.
BI members Max Kurze and Marcus Rossel have been honored for their outstanding diploma and master theses in computer science. Their work in formal verification and proof automation sets new standards.
