Kvasir

Kvasir is the committee of Thor that organises events for Automotive and Electrical Engineering students in collaboration with companies. These events include excursions, workshops, lunch and pub lectures. The workshops focus on skills like writing your CV and how to present yourself to a company, but may also be of a more technical nature. The excursions and lectures show the job opportunities for students after graduation as well as possible internships, graduation projects and part-time jobs. 

As a member of Kvasir, you are tasked with the organisation of these events. You will make arrangements for the events as well as supervise the communication between Thor and the companies in question. Close contact with companies and the organisation of the events will lead to the development of skills such as planning, organising, communicating and presenting yourself.

Sioux Lunch Lecture

Precision & Low-Noise Analogue Electronics in Today’s High-Tech Landscape 
Modern high-performance electronic systems share several common goals: engineers strive to build devices that achieve higher precision, lower noise floors, greater integration, smaller footprints and reduced cost, all while pushing the boundaries of what is technologically feasible. In the analogue domain, these ambitions introduce unique challenges. Designing hardware that reliably captures, conditions, and transfers delicate analogue signals often requires balancing parasitic effects, interference, component tolerances, thermal behavior, and board-level coupling within ever-shrinking PCB real-estate. 

In this short seminar, we will discuss core challenges faced in precision and low-noise analogue hardware design, along with best practices and design methodologies that enable engineers to deliver robust analogue performance in demanding applications. 

About Sioux Technologies – we bring high-tech to life
Sioux Technologies is a global technology partner that supports or acts as the R&D department for high-tech companies. Working at Sioux, means working together with a team of driven, smart and fun colleagues on high-tech solutions that make a difference. Our talents in software, mechatronics, mathematics or electronics contribute to the development and construction of complex products, often on the verge of what is technologically possible. At Sioux, engineers work on a project for a big multinational in the region or for a promising start-up tackling the next breakthrough technology.

Lunch and drinks will be provided during the lecture.

Dream Chip Technologies Lunch Lecture

DreamChip Technologies is a Germany-based semiconductor engineering company that specializes in end-to-end design and development of custom silicon solutions. They are one of Europe’s largest independent engineering turn-key service providers, with deep expertise in ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), SoCs (System-on-Chips), FPGAs and embedded software for complex systems across automotive, industrial, consumer, and professional markets. Their work spans the full chip development cycle, from initial specification and architecture through design, verification, tape-out, embedded software, and post-silicon bring-up.  

A core focus for DreamChip is high-performance image signal processing and vision-centric SoC technologies, including scalable modular ISPs and custom vision/AI accelerators optimized for applications such as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). They also offer products like miniature HDR camera systems and tailored embedded solutions alongside pure design services. Since late 2024 they operate as part of the Tessolve group, expanding their global reach and reinforcing their capabilities in advanced silicon design for AI, automotive, and data-intensive applications. 


Lunch and drinks will be provided during the lecture.
