ISF - Our Research Areas
Three of our departments contribute to the research at the Institute of Safety and Security Research: The department of Computer Science, the department of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Technical Journalism and the department of Natural Sciences.
Some examples of our key research areas:
-
Department of Computer Science and Department of Natural Sciences:
Research Area Civil Security
(Prof. Dr. Gerhard Holl, Prof. Dr. Harald Illges, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Norbert Jung, Prof. Dr. Peter Kaul, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Pomp, Prof. Dr. Dieter Reinscheid)
e.g. sensors for the detection and analysis of explosives and energetic materials
-
Department of Computer Science:
Research Area Information Security
(Prof. Dr. Karl Jonas, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Karl W. Neunast, Prof. Markus Ullmann, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Norbert Jung)
e.g. the development of secure software and secure human-machine cooperation
Example: Cyber-Security Lab
