The team of the MSE Lab at TU Bergakademie Freiberg is represented this year with four scientific contributions at the International Congress on Ultrasonics (ICU 2025) in Paderborn - one of the world's leading conferences in the field of ultrasound technology.

Our work covers a wide range of current research topics - from medical and industrial applications to open platforms and novel imaging techniques:

1. Towards a Wearable Ultrasound System as a Human-Machine-Interface for Collaborative Robotics
   Development of a wearable ultrasound system for intuitive human-machine interaction in collaborative robotics environments.
2. S-Parameter based Ultrasonic Transducer Characterization: a case study for high-frequency SAM-Transducers
   New approaches for the characterisation of high-frequency transducers using S-parameter analysis using the example of Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM).
3. An Open-Source Platform for Distributed Ultrasonic Flow Measurements in Complex Three-Dimensional Flows
   Open platform for the distributed acquisition of complex flow fields using ultrasound.
4. 3D Imaging with Scanning Acoustic Microscopy - A Comparison of the Focusing Capabilities of Array Transducers and Synthetic Aperture with Highly Focused Transducers
   Comparison of modern focusing strategies for high-resolution 3D imaging using SAM.

In addition to our scientific presence, we are also involved in the Programme Committee (Prof. Kupsch and Prof. Kühnicke). Kupsch and Prof. Kühnicke) of ICU 2025 and will lead several specialist sessions, including in the areas of Intelligent Signal Processing, Wearable Ultrasound and Ultrasound Microscopy.

The ICU offers an excellent platform for international exchange with leading experts from research and industry - and we are looking forward to presenting and discussing our developments and ideas in this environment.
