We employ 23,400 people and serve customers in more than 100 countries. Danfoss engineers the technologies that enable the world of tomorrow to do more with less. We meet the growing need for infrastructure, food supply, energy efficiency and climate-friendly solutions. Since 1968 Danfoss Drives (a division of Danfoss) has been dedicated to developing frequency converters to control speed, torque, acceleration, synchronization, positioning, and the overall performance of electrical motors.

DTU Compute, the department of applied mathematics and computer science of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), is a unique and internationally recognized academic environment spanning the science disciplines mathematics, statistics, computer science, and engineering. We conduct research, teaching and innovation of high international standard—producing new knowledge and technology-based solutions to societal challenges. We have a long-term involvement in applied and interdisciplinary research, big data and data science, artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), smart and secure societies, smart manufacturing, and life science. DTU Compute has joined DAIS with its section for Embedded Systems Engineering (ESE). ESE conducts research in a broad range of topics central for design of modern embedded systems, including real-time systems, fault-tolerant and safety-critical systems, hardware/software codesign, concurrent and parallel programming, heterogeneous distributed multi-core architectures and execution platforms, as well as a range of models, methods and tools for the analysis, design and verification of such systems.
