Research Focuses

Research at Berlin University of Applied Sciences and Technology is practical, application-oriented and interdisciplinary. It focuses on three main areas:

Health Technologies and Live Sciences

How can technology support care and nursing through robotics, bionics, artificial intelligence and virtual reality? Which applications and methods can advance clinical diagnosis, therapy and prevention? And how can we harness biological processes and genetics for technological progress? Scientists at BHT are conducting research in a wide range of projects to answer questions like these.

Data Science, AI and Communication Technologies

The research focus covers all aspects of technology-based communication and data processing, ranging from the application of audio-visual media and computer engineering to geographical information systems. Scientists also work in the field of data mining and the implementation of artificial intelligence for explorative data analysis.

Urban Technologies for the City of the Future

Shaping cities and urban open spaces to be more sustainable and climate-friendly is one goal of research conducted in this area. To develop urban infrastructure, scientists at BHT are working on new solutions for construction planning, energy production and storage, and network technology. They are also focusing on new strategies for cutting emissions, installing smart grids, protecting water, and developing electromobility and facility management.
