On Monday, July 3rd, the Applied Research Conference took place at the TH Ingolstadt THI. At this event, students of the master's program Applied Research in Engineering Sciences of eight Bavarian Universities of Applied Sciences presented the results of their research work.

We at ISES are very proud to have been represented by "our" students at ARC with so many impressive talks and posters.

The presented topics:

• "Manufacturing and characterization of experimental battery cells" (Georg Simon Fabry)
• “Simulation and analysis of a three-level neutral-point-clamped back-to-back SiC inverter“ (Maike Brüggemann)
• „Communication Reference Framework for Municipal Energy Transition” (Hannah Pfeffer)
• „Thermal and electrical simulation of a lithium-ion battery module”, (Tobias Hoch)
• „Online Battery and Impedance Monitoring in Energy Storage Systems” (Thomas Vu)
• “Multi-criteria optimization of computationally expensive black-box functions” (Sebastian Mortag)
• “Use of Industrial Control Signals to Improve NILM Disaggregation” (Nikolas Ostermaier)
• "Frequency response analysis (FRA) on rotating machines - model parameterization" (Sandra Plötz)
• "FLAIR² - Flexible Anlagen intelligent regeln: Local and Automatic Control for Flexible Loads" (Hakan Susar)

represent an exciting cross-section of our research and are excellent examples of how research and teaching ideally complement each other.

Thanks to the team at THI for organizing this great event and to all the colleagues, supervisors, and students who are the backbone of this great degree program.
