The lecture is aimed at students, but other interested parties are also warmly invited.

Are you interested in the universe, cutting-edge technologies and maybe even studying physics, computer science or electrical engineering? Then this lecture is just right for you!

As part of the Neiße-Elektro-Olympiade of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Prof. Dr. Martin M. Roth will give an exciting insight into the research at the German Center for Astrophysics (DZA) in Görlitz. The center is currently working on groundbreaking technologies for telescopes that explore the universe with new eyes.

In the lecture, you will find out how the DZA will attract scientists from all over the world in the future in order to jointly expand the boundaries of astronomy. You will also gain exciting insights into two projects that are already being researched in Görlitz: State-of-the-art receiving technologies for radio telescopes and innovative image sensors for optical and infrared space observations. Impressive images from telescopes on earth and in space show what is already possible today!
