Mr Kamieth was particularly interested in the possibilities for developing new, intelligent sensors. In this promising field of research and innovation, the launch of the new INCYTE laboratory building at the University of Siegen, with its technological possibilities in the field of micro- and nanotechnology for the prototypical production of cyber-physical sensors with integrated artificial intelligence, is opening up entirely new possibilities.
