Visit of the Hans Böckler Foundation
The Hans Böckler Foundation offers students not only financial support, but also a wide range of seminars. We had the pleasure of taking part in an exciting seminar on the topic of ‘Data channels in the seabed - insights into the underwater infrastructure of the future’. We spent one day at the Faculty of Engineering at Kiel University. We were given presentations on various topics. Such as the geology of the seabed and the submarine cable incident between Finland and Estonia.
We were particularly impressed by the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes and experience the work of the students and researchers up close. We were allowed to visit the clean room and the special ‘paddling pool’ where experiments are tested directly in water. We were deeply impressed by the university and its diverse research opportunities. Thank you very much for your hospitality and the exciting insights!

Since early summer, Julius Braun-Dullaeus, David Thesing and Martin Semmelrodt have joined the DSS team, bringing expertise in embedded systems, sensor hardware and physics. Julius has been connected to DSS throughout his studies, working on stochastic modeling and underwater signal processing. His current work focuses on a drone-based system for localizing and classifying magnetic objects. David continues his master’s research at DSS, combining thin-film sensor development with real-time signal processing for 3D SONAR beamforming. Martin joined in August after completing his master’s degree in theoretical physics. Having first encountered DSS through a collaboration at Müller-BBM, he now works on drone-based magnetic detection of underwater objects and will take over the project from Julius in January.
