Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Penirschke is a Professor at Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, where he leads research in high-frequency technology and serves as NAC Study Program Director. His academic appointment includes teaching advanced courses in high-frequency measurement technology, signal processing, and sensor systems, and he actively participates in the Examination Board for Communications Engineering and Computer Networks (Bachelor). Professor Penirschke's research focuses on cutting-edge developments in terahertz technology, microwave sensor systems, and beam diagnostics for particle accelerators. His work spans both theoretical and applied aspects, with significant contributions to high-frequency circuit design, terahertz detectors, and novel sensing techniques for industrial applications including flow measurement and humidity detection. His interdisciplinary approach bridges electrical engineering, physics, and materials science to solve complex measurement challenges in accelerator physics and industrial process monitoring. Analysis of Professor Penirschke's recent publications reveals a strong trend toward ultra-precise measurement systems for particle accelerators and advanced microwave sensor technology. His work on beam diagnostics for X-ray free-electron lasers demonstrates expertise in femtosecond-precision timing systems, while his research on microwave-based sensors shows innovative applications of metamaterials and composite right/left-handed transmission lines for permittivity measurements and flow monitoring. The interdisciplinary nature of his publications reflects collaborations across accelerator physics, semiconductor device engineering, and industrial process control. Professor Penirschke actively supervises multiple PhD and Master's students across several major research projects. His grant portfolio includes significant funding from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), and the European Union's Horizon 2020 program. Current projects include HisTeD (High Speed Room Temperature Terahertz Devices), ULCBAMs (Ultra-Low Charge Bunch Arrival-time Monitors), DFMP (sensor systems for flow and humidity measurement), and DIAGNOSE PASST-THM (beam structure analysis). Professor Penirschke leads the High-frequency technology RF laboratory at THM, where his team develops advanced measurement systems for both academic research and industrial applications. The laboratory serves as a hub for collaborative projects with major research institutions including Technical University of Darmstadt, DESY Hamburg, HZDR Dresden, and KIT. The research environment combines theoretical modeling, circuit design, and experimental validation to push the boundaries of high-frequency measurement technology across multiple application domains.
