The "Digital Signal Processing and System Theory" (DSS) team welcomes you on our homepage. Currently we consist of five professors or lecturers (Jan Abshagen, Frank Ehlers, Ulrich Heute, Klaus Linhard, and Gerhard Schmidt), two secretaries (Petra Usinger, Kathrin Büsse), one system administrator (Asvet Jasari), about fifteen internal and external PhD students, as well as several master and bachelor students. More details about us can be found in our team section.
Science Day took place in Kiel and at the Faculty of Engineering on 25 September 2026. The DSS group contributed two demonstrations that gave visitors an insight into current research on signal processing, underwater acoustics and speech signals.
The first demonstration, presented by Karo G. and Viktoriia, focused on the “Digital Ocean” and research using underwater sound. At the maritime test facility, visitors explored how signals are transmitted underwater and used in SONAR systems.
The second demonstration explored the human voice and how people can practise controlling their vocal volume. At a hands-on station, Karo H. showed how audio feedback can support voice-volume training.
