Members of the faculty come together in research groups in which projects, lectures and ideas for Bachelor's or Master's theses are prepared.
An introduction to the research groups and their focus can be found on the subpages.
The research group specialises in the protection of IT systems and applications in the automotive, railway, computer networks, embedded systems, IoT and cloud environments. The solutions are based on the use, adaptation or new development of cryptographic technologies.
The Big Data Competence Centre supports courses and projects in all departments at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences in the field of big data technologies and applications. A key component is the operation and expansion of the big data cluster.
The Biometrics and Internet Security Research Group (da/sec) develops modern biometric and security technology processes, for example for fingerprint, facial and iris recognition or for the protection of biometric data.
The Embedded System Technology working group deals with current issues relating to the use of embedded systems. The focus is on the increasing penetration of our everyday lives by intelligent products and solutions with embedded information processing and networking – often referred to as the Internet of Things.
Its interdisciplinary team brings together experts in computer science, information and data science, and visual design from various departments at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. These specialists have many years of experience in AI, machine learning, data mining, visualisation, and human machine interaction.
The da/net research group is currently working on projects relating to secure 5G networks and new network technologies that will make future communication systems more reliable and secure.
The UCS - User-Centered Security research group is investigating how the security and privacy of digital systems can be made user-friendly. It combines IT security with usability research in order to make systems more secure and suitable for everyday use.
