Finn Jannek Klar

Finn Jannek Klar is a Researcher at the Hamburg University of Technology within the Institute for Mechatronics in Mechanical Engineering. His work focuses on sensor design and maritime technology, particularly low-cost, high-precision sensors for oceanographic applications. He contributes to projects like the Autonomous Multi-Sensor Drifter and SMART Sensor Particles.

• M.Sc. in Mechatronics, TU Hamburg (2016-2022)
• Tutor for "Signals and Systems" and mechanics courses (2016-2021)

His research bridges mechatronic sensor development with real-world deployment in maritime environments. Key areas include:

• Inductive conductivity sensors
• IoT-enabled ocean monitoring
• Thermistor-based temperature measurement
• Smart sensor particle systems

Recent publications highlight his work on affordable, robust sensors for salinity and temperature measurement in marine IoT systems. Supervised student theses explore applications like:

• ADCP deployment in the North Sea
• Wave motion simulation with UR10e robots
• Underwater sensor test environments
