The Chair of Wireless Systems is part of Faculty 1 at Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg and is headed by Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Peter Langendörfer.

The chair focuses on the conception, development, and analysis of secure, resilient, and efficient wireless and cyber-physical systems. Its work addresses networked systems that need to operate reliably under dynamic, resource-constrained, or security-critical conditions.

The research activities of the chair combine methodological foundations with application-oriented challenges. In particular, they address the interdependencies between communication, security, reliability, energy efficiency, and resilience.

Thematic Orientation

The work of the chair addresses, among others, the following topics:

• secure and resilient cyber-physical systems
• wireless sensor networks and IoT systems
• embedded and resource-constrained systems
• IT security, network security, and privacy
• hardware security and trustworthy system architectures
• data-driven analysis methods and predictive maintenance
• edge- and cloud-based system architectures
• artificial intelligence for analysis, optimisation, and decision support

Research and Application

The chair follows a holistic approach, ranging from the analysis and modelling of technical systems to security and resilience concepts and their implementation in application-oriented research and transfer projects.

The research addresses application fields in which networked, embedded, or resource-constrained systems must be operated reliably, securely, and efficiently. These include industrial applications, mobility, digital infrastructures, IoT systems, edge computing, and cyber-physical systems of systems.

Cooperation and Transfer

In addition to fundamental research, the chair is involved in national and international research and transfer projects. It cooperates with partners from academia, industry, and the public sector to develop new methods and technologies for secure, intelligent, and resilient systems and to transfer them into practical applications.
