Working visit at L3S

As part of the implementation of the DAAD project “Digital Education and Artificial Intelligence”, Prof. Dr. Tetiana Tkachova, Prof. Oleg Kobylin and Prof. Sergii Sakalo from Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics visited the L3S Research Center from 11.12.2021 to 18.12.2021.

The invited professors met Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Nejdl and L3S researchers for a discussion. Other external guests, participated online in the meeting.
The first speaker was Prof. Dr. Murad Omarov (Vice-Rector on International Cooperation in NURE). Among other things, he emphasized the importance of the partnership between NURE and LUH that started in 2005. Since this time, several projects were carried out within the framework of the partnership.

Associate Prof. Vasyl Lykhograi from the Department of Computer Radio Engineering and Technical Information Security Systems (hereinafter – CRETISS), Faculty of Information Radio Technologies and Technical Information Security (hereinafter – IRTIS), and Prof. Sergii Sakalo, the dean of the faculty mentioned above, presented scientific findings in the fields of Wireless power transmission for different RF tasks; Power Harvesting via RF waves; UWB antenna with different form of the generatrix; Antenna system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) passive radio direction-finding mobile complex; Wrap-around patch array antenna.

Prof. Sergii Sakalo presented the educational program “Information Technologies of the Internet of Things” on the speciality “Information Systems and Technologies”.

Prof. Oleg Kobylin (Head of the Informatics Department in NURE) gave a presentation regarding the work and structure of the department, namely, what students learn during their bachelor and master degrees, and where they can work after they graduate from KNURE. 

During the meeting, the status of the integration of the AI course as part of the implementation of the DAAD project “Digital Education and Artificial Intelligence” was discussed. In addition, the possibility of a double diploma for Ukrainian and German students was considered.

Winter Summer school 2022

Theme: AI For Bio-Medicine (AI4BM)

The Leibniz AI Lab aims to build a community involving researchers from machine learning, AI, biology, medical professionals, and more to address the shared questions in personalized medicine. Together with Medical School Hannover we invite you to the Leibniz AI Lab Winter School from February 21 till February 25, 2022*.

The intensive one-week school brings eminent scientists from diverse domains to inspire and guide students and early career researchers. The well-designed tutorials and hands-on sessions in AI, medicine, and bioinformatics will cover introductory to advanced topics. We will have several keynotes to further inspire and showcase the opportunities and challenges in this interdisciplinary field.
In light of improving COVID-19 situation, all sessions are planned to be held at Leibniz University Hannover.

Please, note: due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases, the winter school has been postponed to June – July 2022.

Bachelor student – Vadym Ardasov

Bachelor student Vasym Ardasov started his internship in L3S for 3 months. He came to Hannover and during his stay in summer semester 2021 in LUH he will write his thesis under the supervision on the topic “Development and implementation of the method of detecting medical masks on faces”.

Vadym Ardasov: “I am developing a system for detecting medical masks on human faces.
Parts of my work:
1. Prepare ‘fake’ dataset with human faces that wearing medical masks;
2. Teach model to detect is there mask or not on face;
