PCIM Recap
That’s a wrap.
A few intense but exciting days at PCIM — full of valuable conversations, memorable moments, and great feedback on the M-Shunt in action.
This year, the M-Shunt was on show across four booths: from double pulse testing with Rohde & Schwarz and PMK/Iwatsu/Cleverscope, to system-level demos at ECPE/Eurocomp and the University of Bremen. On top of that, Hauke Lutzen kicked things off with a full-day tutorial on power semiconductor characterisation, and we presented our latest paper on detecting asymmetries in multi-chip SiC power modules.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by — see you next time!
Pushing Miniaturisation in Current Sensing: Ultra-Compact Mini-M-Shunts for Even Faster Transients

Understanding Faults in Electronics for Harsh Environments
Nando Kaminski and Sven Clausner contributed to the book Electronics Use in Harsh Environments, with Kaminski also serving as one of the editors.
The publication focuses on reliability and specific fault mechanisms in electronic systems operating under harsh environmental conditions. For us, this topic is especially relevant, as reliable fault detection requires a deep understanding of how faults occur and how they appear in electrical signals.
The book is worth reading for anyone interested in the background and failure mechanisms of modern power electronic systems in demanding environments.
M-Shunt Wins First Place at CAMPUSiDEEN 2025
The M-Shunt project from the Institute for Power Electronics and Electrical Drives (IALB) at the University of Bremen and EI-Lab from University of Applied Sciences Kempten has been awarded first place in the “Business Concepts” category at CAMPUSiDEEN 2025. The competition, organized by “BRIDGE – Gründen aus Bremer Hochschulen”, recognizes outstanding business ideas from all universities in Bremen. The award highlights the innovative measurement technology developed by the research-based founding team and marks an important milestone on the path toward market readiness.
