The Institute of Technology and Engineering (ITE) is one of the world's leading experts in scientific engineering. ITE develops innovative research devices, instruments and equipment in the form of prototypes and measuring instruments. These are used, for example, in atmospheric and climate research to study physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere and their interactions from the ground to space using satellites, aircraft, drones or weather balloons. Or in plant research to analyse root structures and functions, or in agricultural science to understand hydrological and biogeochemical processes in the soil. ITE develops basic components and complete measurement systems for imaging measurement techniques. These are based on ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic induction methods, spectral electrical impedance tomography, impedance spectroscopy, positron emission tomography or optical methods such as hyperspectral imaging with Fourier transform spectroscopy and spatial heterodyne interferometers. This also includes the development of special sample holders, rhizotron systems and fully automated controlled plant chambers such as AGRASIM for laboratory experiments or control units for use in the field.
