The Center for Sensor Systems (ZESS) at the University of Siegen
For more than three decades, ZESS has been both an idea and a space to work together.
As such it continues to be an interdisciplinary research hub, providing our scientists with the basis to successfully collaborate on fields as diverse as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, mechatronics, mathematics and biology.
At ZESS, we combine our knowledge to jointly conduct industry projects as well as applied and foundational research. A strong focus in all our projects is the transfer of knowledge into university teaching, postgraduate education, and industrial applications.
The fields at the heart of our research are novel sensor principles, sensor development, sensor information processing, high level information extraction, machine learning, artificial intelligence and system integration.
