STC Tech Tour 27 februari 2025

Program

Welcome to STC

Prof. Mattias O’Nils welcomes you to STC and STC Tech Tour.

Presenter: Prof. Mattias O'Nils

Location: First floor, S-building

Energy Harvesting - Extract Energy in New Ways

Sebastian presents how embedded systems can utilise their own environment to support themselves with electrical energy. He will show some examples of techniques that convert mechanical motion into electrical energy to avoid batteries with limited capacity.

Location: Wireless sensor lab, S-building

Power Electronics

Peng will talk about the research that his research group conducts in the field of power electronics. The goal of some of their research is to develop control technology that can handle the fluctuations that occur in the electricity grids of renewable energy. But the research team is also working on developing the low voltage engine of the future that can revolutionise the automotive industry.

Presenter: Dr. Peng Cheng

Location: Power Electronics lab, S-building

Smart cameras in the vision lab

Optical measurement technology for chemometric measurements in the field.

Presenter: Dr. Benny Thörnberg

Irida will present her work with smart cameras, where the camera node has a vision sensor together with processing and communication capabilities. The aim is to optimize the energy efficiency of the smart camera by analyzing which part of the data processing should be implemented in the smart camera node and which part should be processed in the cloud.

Presenter: Dr. Irida Shallari

Location: Vision lab, S-building

Technology for the Smart City

Rikard works as a research engineer and develops prototypes for many of the university’s research projects. Here he will show various examples of how to connect urban environments with the help of sensors, smart cameras, and AI.

Presenter: Rikard Hamrin, Research engineer

Location: L-building

IoT communication

Stefan will talk about how IoT devices communicate and will show the possibilities that can be created when many small devices work together to solve problems over the Internet. This research therefore includes everything from wireless sensor networks to fully distributed blockchain systems.

Presenter: Associate professor Stefan Forsström

Location: Communication Systems and Networks lab, L-building

Multidimensional camera systems to help merge virtual and real reality

Roger works in the research group Realistic3D where multidimensional camera systems are used instead of traditional cameras. With more cameras and different types of sensors, not only images can be captured but the entire three-dimensional space with the positions of all objects relative to each other. The increased amount of data it generates enables a variety of applications that are not realizable with traditional camera technology. But how do you ensure that the increased amount of data should not set up all bandwidth or fill all storage space? These research questions are addressed by Roger in his presentation.

Presenter: Dr. Roger Olsson

Location: 3D lab, L-building

Om STC forskningscenter

På forskningscentret STC - Sensible Things that Communicate, forskar man inom IoT (Internet of Things), AI (Artificiell Intelligens) och sensorsystem. Forskningen bedrivs inom elektronik- och datateknikområdet med fokus på smarta industrier, miljömätning och funktionella ytor. Forskningen sker ofta i nära samverkan med företag från hela Sverige och med andra universitet - runt om hela världen.

STC grundades 2005 och idag arbetar över 70 forskare på forskningscentret som professor Mattias O'Nils leder. Verksamheten finns på Mittuniversitetet campus i Sundsvall och forskningsmiljön ligger i framkant med ett flertal välutrustade labb för bland annat optik, röntgen och 3D.

STC startade i samarbete med Telia, Norrlands första 5G site på Mittuniversitetet våren 2019. 2020 startade två testbäddar för IoT med inriktning mot smarta samhällen och smart industri.
