A new approach to terahertz
Whether it’s dicey firefighting missions, the detection of viruses in the air or the use of 6G in mobile communications – the possibilities of terahertz technology are huge. However it is still mostly a matter of the future. At UDE, Prof. Dr. Jan Balzer is working on cost-efficient systems and novel applications.

Medical Technology Systems – Project “Terahertz”
Network for excellent terahertz research for communication, localisation, material characterisation, environmental monitoring and medical technology.
As part of the terahertz.NRW project, the Medical Technology Systems (SMT) department is working on the application of neurorehabilitation in the field of robotic movement support of the upper body. The aim of this scientific research work is to record muscle movements in the forearm without contact using THz technologies. Signal processing and machine learning methods will be researched and developed. Subsequently, data-driven learning methods and suitable models will be used to predict finger movements and grasping postures of the hand.
