Werner von Siemens Awards 2024: The highest number of awards goes to students and supervisors from FEE CTU

The Czech branch of Siemens awarded the Werner von Siemens Prizes 2023 to the best students, young scientists, and teachers. The first place in the number of awards went to the Czech Technical University in Prague, with all six awards going to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the CTU. This is followed by the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (5 winners) and Brno University of Technology (3 winners), Palacký University in Olomouc and Masaryk University (2 winners each), Charles University and the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (1 winner each). The expert juries selected winners from 496 applications, 20 awardees shared one million crowns. Women accounted for 29% of the total entries and 25% of the prize winners. Along with the students, the supervisors and mentors of their work also received a prize.

Acoustic shooting sensor or magnetic field display. Researchers from FEE CTU present technologies at Amper 2024

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering of CTU is part of the largest international trade fair for electrical engineering, automation, communication and security in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. At Amper 2024, which takes place from 19th to 21st March 2024 at the Brno Exhibition Centre, researchers will present technological solutions such as Define Instruments software, an acoustic gunshot sound detector, or a magnetic field display.

Sign up for Biosignal Challenge 2024: Sleep apnea detection

Sleep apnea, characterized by repetitive cycles of interrupted breathing, affects approximately 10 % of middle-aged adults, especially overweight or obese men. However, nearly 80 % of people with this disorder remain undiagnosed and untreated.

How to make your own mobile phone or frog alarm clock. The second year of the course at FEE CTU will be held in cooperation with the Maker Institute

The Cybernetics and Robotics study programme at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of CTU has just opened the second year of a unique course How to Make (Almost) Anything. The concept of practical education in the field of digital manufacturing and rapid prototyping is not new; it has been promoted for many years by the prestigious American university MIT. The course leaders at the Prague FEE CTU have now teamed up with another DIY powerhouse - the Maker Institute, a non-profit platform that is an interdisciplinary project of CTU and VŠCHT universities.

FEE CTU joins the chain of lights for rare diseases

Every year on the last day of February, we commemorate the fate of people living with a rare disease all over the world. This day also belongs to all those who help them cope with their illness: their families, carers, friends, doctors, nurses and those who work in patient and other support organisations.

Students as astronauts. Escape game shows in virtual reality what life is like on the space station

A new virtual reality app presents the process of spaceflight, everyday life in orbit, and the dangers and risks astronauts may face. It was developed by researchers from the Department of Computer Graphics and Interaction at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague in cooperation with the consulting and technology company Deloitte. The Planetum - Observatory and Planetarium of the City of Prague is the professional guarantor of the project, which will use the application to popularize scientific topics related to space among students and pupils of secondary and primary schools.

Dozens of female students at the Become a Scientist for a Day event got a glimpse into physics, electrical engineering, mathematics and IT research

Ninety-five female high school students from the Czech Republic and Slovakia took part in the Become a Scientist for a Day event on Friday 9 February. The rich programme prepared by the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the CTU aims to inspire high school girls to study natural and technical sciences. Look at the photo gallery, which captures the atmosphere of the morning programme with lectures and panel discussion of female students and scientists from FEE and FNSPE, as well as the afternoon workshops. In them, the high school students built a solar lamp and a cloud detector, tried programming in Python, and how to program a robot. In other exercises, for example, they got acquainted with a tool for counting with large numbers, made a gel dosimeter that allowed them to see ionizing radiation with their own eyes, or scientists introduced them to work in the optical laboratory.

47th Meeting with Music: Year of Czech music performed by Belfiato Quintet

Please accept our invitation to the 47th Meeting with Music, which takes place on the 19th February 2024 at 18:30. This time, as part of a series of roughly one-hour musical evenings with top performers, the chamber ensemble Belfiato Quintet will perform in the Zenger Auditorium on the CTU campus at Charles Square. Listeners can look forward to compositions by Antonín Rejcha, Pavel Haas and Bedřich Smetana.

How technology saves lives. Interview with Prof. Jan Vrba, who developed a device for treating cancer patients

It was the beginning of the 1980s when a young engineer from the Department of Electromagnetic Fields developed the necessary technical equipment for the treatment of cancer patients using so-called microwave hyperthermia. To date, more than 1500 patients in the Czech Republic have undergone treatment with this method, many of whom have saved their lives and improved their quality of life. Read the interview with Prof. Jan Vrba, who has been working at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University since 1972 and has been devoting most of his professional life to the effects of microwave radiation on the human body. Prof. Vrba's research has been continued by several of his former PhD students and also by his two sons.

New course Elements of Atomistic Simulations at the Department of Control Engineering

Starting from the summer semester of 2024, the Department of Control Engineering is launching an eagerly anticipated course. Associate Professor Antonio Cammarata has responded to many students' requests and will introduce a master's level course (also suitable for interested students of BA programmes) centered on the application of Classical and Quantum Mechanics in designing in-silico experiments within the Materials Science domain.

Game about time travel won the competition of games developed by students from FEE

The game Sweep to the Past, in which the player travels through time and tries to influence the future, won the competition of projects by students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of CTU. The winning team, consisting of Eliška Rojíčková, Filip Houdek, Milan Němeček, and Matěj Havel, succeeded in the competition of 12 other student groups that took the Computer Games course. The presentation of the projects, which took place in January in the Zenger Auditorium in the FEE building on Charles Square, and the winning trailers can be seen here.

International project explores the use of 6G networks in factories of the future

The aim of the research led by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University (CTU) and in cooperation with the Bosch in České Budějovice - Robert Bosch spol. s. r. o., the French EURECOM University and the University of Oulu in Finland, launched this year, is semantic communication and information processing from industrial machines using machine learning for sixth generation (6G) mobile networks.

Student FEE CTU Ondřej Baštař programmed an algorithm for training pilots in augmented reality. He won 100 thousand CZE in the competition

It started with playing computer games to relax after school and ended with winning 100,000 CZK in a competition and a job offer on the top. That is how one could sum up the journey of Ondřej Baštař, a third-year student of the bachelor's programme in Cybernetics and Robotics (KyR) at FEE CTU, who won the Vrgineers competition. The task was to program an image processing algorithm for a VR headset on a graphics card, which is used to train pilots in augmented reality.
