Technical University of Denmark

Founded in 1829 with the mission of creating value for the benefit of society, DTU is an international elite technical university where education, scientific advice, and innovation rest on a solid foundation of world-class research.

The University is at the academic and multidisciplinary forefront of the technical and the natural sciences—with new initiatives in a number of demanding engineering disciplines, including sustainable energy technology and life science. Two departments are involved in the Nordic IoT Hub:

DTU – Compute

Embedded Systems Engineering (ESE) is a section at DTU Compute, the largest computer science department in Denmark, consisting of 12 scientific staff (prof. and assoc. prof.), 5 postdocs and 20 PhDs.  ESE focuses on design of modern Industrial IoT systems: real-time systems, fault-tolerant and safety-critical systems, time-critical hardware architectures and deterministic virtualization, Deterministic Ethernet, heterogeneous distributed multi-core architectures and execution platforms; models, methods and tools for the analysis, design and verification of such systems.

DTU – Photonics

DTU Fotonik is working with all aspects of current and future communication technologies. The department comprises 4 research sections: Communication Technologies, Nonlinear Optics & Biophotonics, Light Sources & Industrial Sensors and Nanophotonics, and participates. DTU Fotonik participates in the Nordic IoT hub with one section, Communication Technologies, with focus on IoT technologies and infrastructure.
