Our participating team of teachers is highly interdisciplinary:
The University of Kassel - which contributes to the master's program with professors from the departments of civil, mechanical and electrical engineering, as well as natural sciences and mathematics - has a long research history in the fundamentals, modeling, simulation and structural technology of wind energy systems. Research topics include mathematics, continuum fluid & solid mechanics, structural mechanics, aerodynamics, geotechnics, experimental & computational solid & fluid mechanics, and technological concepts for foundations, rotor blades & wind turbine towers.
The lecturers from Fraunhofer <link www.iee.fraunhofer.de/en.html - external-link "Franhofer IEE">IEE (Kassel) and <link www.iwes.fraunhofer.de/en.html - external-link "Fraunhofer IWES">IWES (Bremerhaven) are pioneers and leading experts in the energy system technology of wind turbines, with a great deal of experience in research and industrial applications. As a member of important wind energy research associations (including DERlab, EUREC, EERA, EAWE), Fraunhofer IEE and IWES have an exceptional level of wind energy expertise. This enables the master's graduates to gain a highly applicable qualification in the field of wind energy systems at an internationally recognized level.
