Professor Thomas Seel becomes new head of the Institute of Mechatronic Systems

The Institute of Mechatronic Systems (imes) is pleased to welcome Professor Dr.-Ing. Thomas Seel as the new head of the institute within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Leibniz Universität Hannover at its location in Garbsen from April 2023!

Prof. Seel's research is dedicated to the realization of autonomous and self-learning mechatronic systems in robotic, automotive and medical applications, including the exploration of new methods for sensor fusion in kinematically coupled systems and the development of sensorimotor AI for compliant robotics, autonomous vehicles and learning neuroprostheses.

Mr. Seel received his PhD from Technische Universität Berlin in 2016 and held the W3 professorship in Intelligent Sensorimotor Systems at the Department of Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg before his appointment at Leibniz Universität Hannover. He is very much looking forward to promoting and contributing excellent research and teaching together with an outstanding team as well as in close collaboration with established and new partners.
