Institut für Automation und Kommunikation (ifak) e.V. Magdeburg

ifak, as a non-profit institute of applied research, is active in numerous scientific domains, whereby the know-how of main interest for the network is concentrated in the research focal point “Measuring and Analyser Systems”. The work focuses on:

  • Simulation and modelling of ultrasound propagation in liquids and solids,
  • Laser-Doppler-based verification of ultrasound propagation processes,
  • Design and optimization of sensor systems for liquid levels, flow rates, concentrations,
  • Combination of ultrasound and other measuring principles for inline liquid analysis,
  • Development of techniques for tomographic process monitoring.
