Research: Array Design with thin-film sensors for SONAR systems
The design of arrays for SONAR systems is constrained by the size of conventional hydrophones. Complex geometries, in particular, make the design of sensor arrays more difficult. Piezoelectric thin-film sensors are an attractive alternative to conventional hydrophones, as they are smaller and therefore offer expanded possibilities for the development and construction of arrays. The aim is to design a SONAR system including a cylindrical sensor array out of the piezoelectric thin-film sensors. The newly developed and constructed array enables 3D beamforming, which is to be implemented afterwards.

In March 2026, the DSS Chair attended the annual DAGA conference in Dresden. Thanks to the support of the GaS-Club, the student Aylin Kösker was given the opportunity to accompany the chair and participate in the conference from March 23rd to March 26th. As part of the daily poster sessions, she presented the results of her bachelor’s thesis “Machine Learning for the Analysis of Hydrographic Data to Assess the Waterside Accessibility of Port Waters” in the field of Underwater Acoustics. The thesis forms an important basis for an ongoing university research project on the acoustic analysis of sediment properties in harbor areas. The poster session enabled valuable discussions with researchers and conference participants from related research fields.
