- Successful Rigorosum - September 20, 2024
Stefan Baumgartner successfully finished his dissertation and received the doctoral degree.
- Kick-off meeting for HTL diploma thesis
On the first day of their school holidays, diploma students Gregor Radpolt and Carlo Miletic from the Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering at the HTL Leonding met with their supervisors at the Institute of Signal Processing of Univ.-Prof. Dr. Mario Huemer for a kick-off meeting. The topic of the diploma thesis "AI-based active noise cancellation with loudspeaker and microphone arrays" is intended to help demonstrate the feasibility of noise reduction in technical devices (e.g. refrigerators, heat pumps, air conditioners) through built-in loudspeaker and microphone arrays using active noise cancellation. The students receive excellent support from the institute's technician team, represented (from the right) by Manual Feindert (former HTL Leonding graduate) and Anna Werzi. Prof. Markus Lüftner: "With this project, we continue our long-standing cooperation with the JKU. It is a great opportunity for our students to recommend themselves for higher tasks!"

- Austrian Skills - October, 2023
From 04 - 07 October, the Austrian Skills, opens an external URL in a new window took place in Wels, Upper Austria, where young professionals compete in various disciplines to qualify for international competitions (Euro Skills, World Skills). The electronics championship was supported by the Johannes Kepler University and the Institute of Signal Processing and organised by our technicians Simon Dorrer and Manuel Feindert. In the projects developed by both, the participants had to prove themselves in the categories of Circuit Design, PCB Design, Embedded System Programming, Assembling & Testing and Fault Finding & Repair. With the effort of the organisers and the participants we can look back at a successful competition week and we congratulate all participants for their efforts. In the end, Georg Kelih (HTL Mössingerstraße), Jakob Schaumberger (HTL Leonding) and Laurin Lintner (HTL Leonding) stood out with their performances. The ISP wishes them all the best on their further career path and Georg Kelih and Jakob Schaumberger for their preparations for the World Skills and Euro Skills.
