I am Reinhardt Rading, a Research Associate at the Helmut-Schmidt-Universität – Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg, Germany, specializing in the application of photonics in sensing, defense, space, and communications. My current research focuses on optical metrology, particularly laser interferometry, for the development of high-precision optical sensors with applications in environmental monitoring, seismology, and defense technologies.
I joined the Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering at the Helmut-Schmidt-Universität where I’m currently researching on several projects related to Optical Metrology under the supervision of Prof. Katharina Isleif. My work is dedicated to developing and advancing low-noise Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) systems for applications in gravitational-wave science, environmental monitoring, seismology, and defense technologies.
Before joining Helmut Schmidt Universitat-Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg, I was enrolled in the Ph.D. track at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris in Electrical Engineering, where I also completed an research internship at iXblue-now Exail, a French high-tech defense and photonics company, focusing on the development and noise characterization of a highly sensitive optical seismometer to be used in the upcoming Mars mission.
I received a master’s degree in Communication Engineering from the University of Parma specializing in Optical Communications and Networks and a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Kenyatta University.
