Efficient and secure: better systems for enhancing cybersecurity

Chitchanok Chuengsatiansup moved from the University of Melbourne to the University of Klagenfurt at the end of 2024 with the aim of continuing her work on optimised cryptographic codes that accomplish several goals: While maintaining the security offered by the design, the computational resources required to execute cryptographic code and the overheads to integrate such code into different systems should be minimal.

Improving magnetic resonance imaging with mathematics

The special research area “Mathematics of Reconstruction in Dynamical and Active Models”, funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, was launched in March 2025. Researchers from the University of Klagenfurt, led by Barbara Kaltenbacher (Department of Mathematics), will be contributing their expertise on inverse problems. The aim is to develop new mathematical tools for active, dynamic and model-based imaging modalities.

Taking a closer look at electricity consumption with the help of artificial intelligence

Using non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM), it is possible to analyse which devices in a household are currently consuming electricity without having to attach separate measuring instruments to all of the consumers. Emir Sinanović, a university assistant in the Smart Grids working group at the Department of Networked and Embedded Systems, hopes to combine this analysis with a large-language model that works rather like ChatGPT.

AI-controlled drone swarms to inspect wind turbines in the future

Traditionally, wind turbines have to be shut down before they can be inspected for damage. This means that these wind turbines do not generate energy during the shutdown period. Furthermore, inspection costs for wind turbines tend to be high. The DORBINE project, funded by the FFG, involves a research team from the University of Klagenfurt working with industrial partner AIR6 SYSTEMS to develop a new technology that uses artificial intelligence to control swarms of drones that inspect wind turbines while they are in operation.
