Scientific research in the theoretical and practical application of the concept of measurement uncertainty in the field of electrical engineering. Part of the scientific research would focus on the application of this concept in electrical measurements in renewable electricity sources (wind farms and photovoltaic solar sources), and electrical measurements in electric motor drives.

research team follows the trends in new technologies for the exploitation of renewable energy sources and explores the ways of applying these technologies in area of maritime affairs. The new technologies include solar energy application, fuel cells, wind capturing, mechanical energy from the motion of tides and waves.  The team investigates the production of energy from renewable resources, its distribution, storage and transformation, as well as its use for ship's propulsion and drive of other marine systems.

This multi-disciplinary group uses signal processing methods for analysis in a time, frequency and time-frequency domain in the field of the maritime and biomedicine. The main research interest of the group is a development of applied signal processing algorithms for automatic detection of Motor Evoked Potentials after excitation of brain motor cortex. Also, the group researches problems for detection of various objects on the sea bottom using deep learning algorithms.

The main goal of the research is to improve the search and rescue system at sea, especially the part related to the early detection of man at sea. Today's primary equipment for surviving in sea, required by SOLAS, is life jackets that is equipped with a whistle and a light. However, already today there are non SOLAS solutions that offer special transmitters that can help in fast and efficient finding, but they are mostly not standardized, and the equipment is relatively expensive.
