The Institute for Mechatronics and Power Electronics conducts application-oriented basic research in the fields of mechatronics, power electronics, electric drive systems, scientific instrumentation, optoelectronics, and measurement systems.

The vision of our research is to develop design methods for Pareto-optimal systems in the fields of energy conversion, measurement technology, and mechatronics in order to achieve maximum performance of the available technology in each respective application.

These aspects and concepts of system integration are common to all of the institute's research areas.

The institute is organized into two areas:
