Ingrid Ullmann

Ingrid Ullmann is a Researcher and Research Group Leader (Wave-Based Sensing Techniques) at the Institute of Microwaves and Photonics (LHFT) within the Department of Electrical-Electronic-Communication Engineering at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). She holds a Dr.-Ing. (PhD) from FAU, awarded in 2021 for her thesis on 'Novel Concepts for Radar Imaging in Heterogeneous Media'. Her academic journey includes a 2016 M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the same institution.

Her research focuses on radar imaging (millimeter-waves, terahertz), ultrasound imaging, non-destructive testing, and biomedical engineering applications. She leads two laboratories: the Radar Imaging Laboratory and the Medical Imaging Laboratory, advancing innovations in security screening, medical diagnostics, and automotive radar systems. Her work integrates machine learning with radar techniques to enhance imaging resolution and analysis efficiency.

Ullmann’s publications (over 50 entries from 2017–2025) emphasize radar-based human motion tracking, material reconstruction, and UAV applications for environmental monitoring. Key trends include: 1) fusion of radar and ultrasound for enhanced visibility, 2) machine learning-driven signal processing in biomedical contexts, and 3) development of compact radar systems for space debris tracking and historical document analysis.

She actively supervises student theses in radar imaging, medical engineering, and security systems. While no explicit awards are listed, her contributions to IEEE journals and conference proceedings highlight her technical leadership. Collaborations with Erlangen University Hospital and industry partners (e.g., Siemens) underscore her interdisciplinary reach.
