Professor Kristina Kelber is a faculty member at HTW Dresden (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Dresden), holding the Chair of Communications Engineering within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. She is also a member of the Faculty Council, contributing to academic governance at the institution.

Her research focuses on signal processing, digital image processing, and the analysis and design of nonlinear dynamic systems. Her work spans theoretical aspects of communications engineering and practical applications in diverse fields including music technology for accessibility applications, bird song identification, film restoration, and visitor center information systems. Her publication record demonstrates consistent expertise from the 1990s to present, with evolving applications from foundational work in chaos-based encryption systems to more recent applied research with social impact.

Professor Kelber has secured research funding for projects such as "sprechAktiv," a child-friendly interactive language learning media initiative developed in cooperation with Linguwerk GmbH, Dresden, and funded by the BMBF's SME innovative program from 2013-2015. Her research methodology combines theoretical analysis with practical implementation, as evidenced by publications ranging from mathematical analysis of chaotic systems to applied projects in music technology and image processing.
