DTU Electro

The transforming power of light and electronics

Light and electronics - photons and electrons - are the key bits of tomorrows sustainable society. Where they meet, change is made.

At DTU Electro, we combine the immense possibilities of electrical and photonics engineering. Our research is, among other things, used in the healthcare sector for diagnostics, treatment and improving the quality of life. We research into the development of more sustainable energy systems, safer autonomous systems and a faster, greener and more secure internet.

Grand project will develop autonomous agricultural machines making agriculture safer, cheaper, and more sustainable

Professor at Electro Lazaros Nalpantidis receives 16 mio DKK from The Innovation Fund for the SAVA project. The project will develop agricultural machines, which will improve the work conditions and safety in agriculture due to improved sensor and safety equipment. Simultaneously the machines will strengthen climate action by enabling the use of optimized routes, thereby improving biodiversity, CO2 budget and machine economy.
